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.
