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.
