Starting this season, the star violinist is sharing leadership duties at the orchestra with Nicholas McGegan, Douglas Boyd, and Stephen Prutsman. Each has a different area of focus‹Bell's is the string repertoire of the Romantic era‹and each is leading or participating in several concerts a year.

In tonight's concert, Bell will lead the SPCO from the concertmaster's chair in Vivaldi's The Four Seasons; Mozart's Rondo in C for Violin, K.373; Strauss's Suite for Winds, Op. 4; and the overture to Rossini's Barber of Seville. The program will be repeated on October 23 and 24.
