Tessa Lark, violin
Joshua Roman, cello
Edgar Meyer, double bass
An exciting new collaboration brings together three singular figures in American concert music—virtuoso instrumentalists with fierce classical chops, deep connections to roots and fiddle music, and wide-open artistic sensibilities. Perhaps today’s best-known bass virtuoso, recent Grammy winner Edgar Meyer has built an extraordinary career—as a soloist with leading orchestras; a musical sparring partner with the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Zakir Hussain, Joshua Bell, Chris Thile, and Béla Fleck; and an in-demand composer and recording artist. Featuring genre-crossing Kentucky-born violinist Tessa Lark and eclectic cellist Joshua Roman, the trio takes an exhilarating romp through selections by Bach, trio music by Meyer, and a brand-new work co-commissioned by Cal Performances, composed especially for these players.
Leadership support for this performance is provided by Nadine Tang.
This performance is made possible, in part, by Dr. Rupali Das-Melnyk and Dr. Ostap Melnyk.
