Joshua Bell rehearsing with the brilliant students of the San Francisco Conservatory, leading ASMF musicians in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. This rehearsal clip of the opening movement, The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship ⚓️🌊, was one of the most-loved moments shared on our channels in 2025.
Perhaps it’s the brilliance of the concerto, or its unexpected connection to Squid Game, where the finale is used as an alarm call in the opening episode and returns at key moments throughout the series.
As we count down to the new year, we’re revisiting the performances that stayed with you ✨
A performance that's travelled far beyond the concert hall 🎺

A moment that clearly struck a chord this year 🎻
This performance of Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A minor with Joshua Bell CBE was one of the most-loved pieces shared on our channels in 2025.
