Jason Heath’s Double Bass Blog

Boston Symphony Orchestra principal bassist Ed Barker will be performing the Tubin Concerto with the New Philharmonia Orchestra of Newton, Massachusetts later on this month. Ed performed the Koussevitzky Concerto with this orchestra during the 2001-2002 season, and this upcoming concert series is a wonderful opportunity to hear one of the nation’s most influential bassists live in concert. Details are listed below:

Sat., Nov. 17 @ 8pm
Sorenson Center, Babson College, Wellesley
Sun., Nov. 18 @ 2:30pm
First Baptist Church, Newton Centre
Tickets: $25 with discounts for students and seniors
For tickets & information, visit www.newphil.org or call 617.527.9717

We’ll be releasing a video performance of the Tubin Concerto in the next few weeks with double bassist (and Contrabass Conversations guest) Phillip Serna, so stay tuned for that.

Ed Barker did a master class in Chicago in March 2006 (just a few months after I started this blog), and I wrote up a summary of the topics that Ed covered. You can check it out here.
