Joshua performed for the President and First Lady and VIPs February 11th at the grand reopening of the Ford’s Theatre in Washington DC. The invitation-only event honored George Lucas and Sidney Poitier with performances from a stellar cast of entertainers. But the biggest surprise of the evening was when the audience learned that the violin Joshua was playing was last played at Ford's Theatre on April 14th, 1865—the night of Lincoln’s assassination.

Joshua Bell is the featured soloist in seven-time Oscar®-nominated Composer James Newton Howard’s original score for Defiance, based on an extraordinary true story about three Jewish brothers who were responsible for saving over 1,200 Jews during WWII. Directed by Academy Award®-winning producer Edward Zwick (Blood Diamond), the film stars Daniel Craig (Casino Royale), Liev Schreiber (The Painted Veil) and Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott).

Defiance opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 31, 2008 and nationwide on January 16, 2009.
