Ian Hallas, principal bassist for the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra (and my student for the past six years) is seen here performing the second movement of the Bottesini Concerto in B minor with his high school orchestra in Northbrook, Illinois. This was recorded live on October 29, 2007. Notice the low B extension that Ian is sporting (like his teacher!).
By the way, if these videos don’t play for you (they don’t for some people–still investigating why), you can always play them from the bass blog video player in the sidebar. That seems to work for almost everybody. You can also visit the YouTube link below.
Like the streeeeeetched out CBC logo below? You never know how these things will look until you actually upload them…and then it is often too late to do anything about it!
You can also check this video out on YouTube. All videos that we’ve assembled for the blog and podcast are available in the bass blog video player in the upper left hand portion of the blog. Click the full screen toggle and flip through all of our video content!
