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 music by Bach, two of Meyer’s trios from the 1980s, and a brand-new work by Meyer co-commissioned by Cal Performances, composed especially for this ensemble.
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.
Run time for this performance is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes, including intermission.
