Joshua Bell on his earliest memories of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields | #ASMF60

To celebrate the Academy's 60th anniversary, we're sharing stories, memories and mementos of the orchestra's acclaimed 60-year history.

In this video, the Academy's current Music Director, virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell, talks about his earliest memories of the Academy and his first experience working with the orchestra as a teenager.

Perhaps you remember hearing the Academy on the radio, too? We'd love to hear your memories of the orchestra and we'll post our favourites on social media. Get in touch with us at marketing (at) asmf (dot) org or use hashtag #ASMF60
