CBC 83: Jack Budrow interview part 3
We’re concluding our chat with Michigan State University and Interlochen Arts Academy double bass instructor Jack Budrow this week on Contrabass Conversations. In addition to helping place students in major orchestras across the globe, Jack has had a very distinguished performance career as a former member of the Houston Symphony, Santa Fe Opera Orchestra, and as Principal Bass of the North Carolina Symphony.
We had a great chat, and I highly encourage listeners to check out part 1 (episode 73) and part 2 (episode 76) to get the full context of this interview.
Co-host John Grillo has appeared on many Contrabass Conversations episodes as both host and guest. Check out his bass recital, orchestra excerpt breakdown, and opera excerpt breakdown for some additional musical and educational bass content. Enjoy!
