Holding down the low end with the Chicago Philharmonic

We just wrapped up a very fun program with the Chicago Philharmonic last night at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.  No matter how many times I perform orchestral warhorses like the Beethoven Fifth Symphony and Strauss’ tone poem Don Juan, I still get a thrill out of playing with a great bass section in a high-level ensemble.

Here’s the bass section for this concert.  Pictured left to right: Kate Nettleman (listen to her CBC interview here), Tim Shaffer, Jason Heath, Paul Dallas, John Tuck, Greg Sarchet (listen to his CBC interview here)
