Violinist Joshua Bell enjoys special street cred in D.C. for helping The Washington Post prove Washingtonians are philistines by dressing as a busker in L’Enfant Plaza Metro and seeing if anyone would recognize him. So it doesn’t take much effort for him to fill a concert hall. Indeed, the Kennedy Center has a whole week of events to take advantage of his “residency.” One of the more intriguing offerings is a “culinary concert” organized by local promoters the Gourmet Symphony that offer a five-course meal designed by Graffiato and Kapnos owner Mike Isabella with dishes supposedly inspired by a program performed by Bell and the National Symphony Orchestra.
