And so, we meet Mr. Bell!

After proposing, I had one other special surprise up my sleeve: A special meeting with Joshua Bell, who had graciously invited us backstage to take a picture with him. I prepared a copy of the photo (see below), by printing and framing it. I wrote a short message on the picture frame, with the intention of giving it to Mr. Bell.

The Picture from August 2, 1997:

Backstage at The Shed

We were the first ones backstage, to greet Mr. Bell on his performance of the Prokofiev Concerto. He knew immediately who we were, and gave us a big congratulations. We promptly took several photos, and got a copy of our original photo autographed, before he had to rush out and greet his fans.

  1. This was my favorite part of the whole trip - getting to meet Bell again, 10 years later! It was such a thrill for me. Kind of like déja vu, but in an awesome way :)
