Violinist Joshua Bell will give a benefit concert to help children's music education in the city where he grew up. Proceeds from his 13 April recital in Bloomington, Indiana, with British pianist Sam Haywood will support elementary-school string programmes, which are under threat amid a public school funding crisis in Indiana. The concert will be the first in a new partnership between Bell and Haywood, who are set to tour together across the US and Europe.
