I got a rare opportunity to talk with violinist Joshua Bell at his home in Chelsea. The artist’s three story home is totally designed by him. It is exquisite; in fact, Architectural Digest is featuring his home in the magazine. He also designed a large space where as many as 200 friends can enjoy an evening of music much like the salons of Paris.

Joshua showed us his fabulous wall of musical heroes and how talked about how they have been part of his life studying music from a young age with his teacher Joseph Gingold. He even gives us the back story of his body double role of the violinist in The Red Violin.

He has a new album appropriately title “AT HOME WITH FRIENDS”, which breaks away from the standard classical repertoire pairing him with musicians from Sting to Chris Botti. Better will be airing an in depth story Tuesday, September 29th. Make sure to check your listing for your city also check out Bettertv.com and The Better TV channel on YouTube.
