Edgar Meyer joins the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra for two Double Bass Concerti, including one of his own compositions. Hailed by The New Yorker as “…the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer has unparalleled technique and musicianship.
The symphony starts the concert with a composition by their own Principal Horn Bruce Atwell, featuring the FVSO Horn section. Next, Edgar Meyer joins the group for two Double Bass Concerti, including one of his own compositions. Then they end the evening in grand fashion with Ein Heldenleben, a piece as challenging as it is unforgettable.
