Classical Bass Concert This Weekend

Decided to indulge in an unusual little treat this weekend: a classical bass concert featuring Edgar Meyer and the Oregon Symphony.

America's best-known master of the double bass, the charismatic Edgar Meyer, joins the orchestra in a pair of concertos never before performed by the Oregon Symphony: one by the great 19th-century master of the instrument—and one of his very own. About the concert

I've never been to a concert featuring a double bass. I expect it will be equal parts unique and enchanting. More about the program (the music, composers, etc.) may be found on the Oregon Symphony website.

Oh, Amber. Double Bass is a beautiful instrument and the concert should be phenomenal. My uncle is a famous bassist and I love listening to him play by himself or with large ensembles. Enjoy!! :)

Thanks Jackie! I'm really looking forward to it. I had a very brief stint with the bass in junior high. Loved it.
