Joshua Bell, Nobel Prize Concert
In 2010 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo, amid great furor from the Chinese. Although there is no prize ever awarded to musicians, the organizers of the annual concert do not want to forget what a powerful force music can be. As a result you have some of the best musicians performing some of the most powerful classical works in the world. In the 2010 concert you had the exhilarating Overture to Leonore by Beethoven, the fierce Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with Joshua Bell on Violin and the tear-jerking Sibelius Symphony No. 5. This is a concert not to be missed.
