Double Bass Edgar Meyer Tour

[mcnaire2004]

I was wondering when if anyone knows his schedule for the year? His site (Invalid Link Removed) hasn't been updated in while. I haven't seen him play in a while.

I do know he will be at GT next month, but that is about it.

He is scheduled to play with the UNT Symphony Orchestra on Oct 3rd at 8pm. This is in Denton, TX, the University of North Texas. He is playing the Bottesini Concerto No. 2 and the Meyer Concerto.

He was supposed to play in Edmonton on September 17th with Mike Marshall - but it was cancelled because of poor sales. I would have stood on the corner and sold tickets myself....

I just have to convince the other bassist at my school to chip in on transportation.

Don't know if you were kidding or not, your profile says you are in Chattanooga, so it would be a long drive, but if you really are thinking about it I would suggest you call and make sure there are still tickets available. He is also giving a solo master class the night before, but that is pretty much all I know about it, as I am not a student there.

Grammy award winning artist, Edgar Meyer, cajoles a burnished, resonant voice with his bass. In concert with the UNT Symphony Orchestra, Meyer will perform the Bottesini Concerto No. 2 and the Meyer Concerto. Although classical in nature, the concert will have the distinctive Edgar Meyer gloss - what violinist Joshua Bell calls "Edgar Music" - that has made him America's best-known bass player.

He's in Madison, WI on the 10th of october and I'm so excited to go see it, and I talked to my bass teacher and he said its very very likely that Edgar would hold a open attendance Master class with Richard Davis, I hope to go, I'm pumped to go see that, maybe Ill get the courage to play in front of him.

Not enough ticket sales for Edgar and Mike?? Geez, Edmonton. Send them to Winnipeg, we'll fill the West End a couple of times for those guys.

My son told me the concert and master class he gave were excellent.

Caught Edgar on Wednesday night and he was amazing as usual.

My teacher is Brad Townshend, I didn't end up being able to go to the master class, but a guy from my section did and said it was "a combination of inspiring and extremely intimidating all at once" The concert was awesome and I really enjoyed it.

 

[pedro]

My teacher is Brad Townshend,

Don't know him. The concert was very good. Edgar is one of the best, IMO.

I went to see Edgar play with Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas on Wed night at the Phillips performing arts center in Gainesville, FL. I've seen Edgar a couple times in the past and this was my favorite. Aside from the group as a whole sounding amazing, Edgar did not play one note out of tune and played some awesome solos including the Amalgamations for Solo Bass movement that's on the Uncommon Ritual CD.

Edgar did not play one note out of tune and played some awesome solos

Yeah, he's good at that. I saw him with Bela Fleck last year. It was amazing to say the least.

I went to see Edgar play with Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas

Saw the same ensemble Friday night here in Atlanta. EM great as usual, the trio truly amazing all around. They had lots of fun joking around between songs (tip to young composers, "How do you know when you've finished a song? When the whiskey runs out").

I've never been a huge Sam Bush fan, but seeing the trio made me realize his value as a time keeper. Edgar spent the night facing him like a bassist generally faces a drummer. Jerry Douglas won a lot of hearts here by finishing his solo medley with Duane Allman's "Little Martha".
