World-renowned violinist Joshua Bell joins Orchestra Lumos for concerts on Saturday, April 1st and Sunday, April 2nd at the Palace Stamford. He'll be the soloist in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, a piece he loves so much he wrote his own cadenza for it. The program also includes Brahms' Serenade No. 1, and Spectacle of Light by Stacey Garrop, inspired by an 18th Century image of a celebration of fireworks. Joshua and Michael talk with Kate Remington about what they're looking forward to with the concerts.

Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Kate Remington joined WSHU in December of 2000, and she's been WSHU's Music Director since 2002.
