About this episode
Earlier this year, violin virtuoso Joshua Bell gave a TED Talk asking the question, do we still need classical music? Joshua is performing in Canada this year and next as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s Spotlight Artist. On a rare day off in his schedule, he sits down with Tom Power to make the case for why we need classical music in our lives now more than ever. He also explains why his Stradivarius violin is so special to play, aside from the multi-million dollar price tag.
