Around the Music Festival

US violinist Joshua Bell extended contract with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The term of office extends to 2023. Bell has been a music director since 2011. The Academy of St Martin in the Fields was established in 1959 in London by Neville Marriner, a British conductor. They began working as a string ensemble without conductors, placing 17th to 18th century music at the center of their repertoire, but gradually expanding their organization and repertoire.
