Broadcast on NJ PBS online.

The program was performed at NJPAC, to an empty auditorium, with orchestra members socially distanced.  Strings one to a stand.  It premiered at 7:30 pm on October 20, 2021, per the orchestra's website.

Bell and Martinez are married (in 2019, per Wikipedia).

Loved the Wieniawski violin concerto.


Playing to an empty auditorium, Bell faced the orchestra most of the time.

Socially distanced orchestra seating.
