Joshua Bell & Larisa Martínez, with Pianist Peter Dugan: The Voice and the Violin

Husband and wife duo Joshua Bell and Larisa Martínez and pianist Peter Dugan present The Voice and the Violin, exploring repertoire from classical art song and opera to musical theater and selections by Puerto Rican and Spanish composers. Over the last two years, Voice and the Violin has been presented at the Brevard Music Center, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Chautauqua Amphitheater, with the Hawaii Symphony, and at the Ravinia Festival, among others. 

With a career spanning almost four decades, Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. Bell has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world and continues to maintain engagements as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, conductor, and as the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Puerto Rican opera singer Larisa Martínez has been praised and sought after for her “smoky soprano” (Opera News), gracing many of the world’s top opera and concert stages, including recent debuts as a soloist at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Hollywood Bowl.

 Pianist Peter Dugan has appeared as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician around the world and can be heard nationwide as host of NPR’s From the Top.
