American Trails with Edgar Meyer

This vibrant program celebrates the many voices of America, headlined by virtuoso bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. The wide-open spirit of the frontier comes alive in Aaron Copland’s Rodeo, while the jazz-infused sparkle of George Gershwin’s An American in Paris brings the energy of a bustling city to the concert hall. At the heart of the program, Meyer takes center stage in two dazzling double bass concertos that seamlessly blend classical tradition with Appalachian and bluegrass influences. As The New Yorker proclaims, he is “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively unchronicled history of his instrument.” Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience his artistry live on the Willson stage.
