We’re featuring thoughts and playing from the four 2017 Bradetich Competition finalists on today’s episode:
Check out all four of these players in their semi-final and final rounds on YouTube.
The Bassinova Quartet is a revolutionary new force in the double bass world. They have turned heads worldwide with their stunning performances of traditional string quartet literature, and they are commissioning new works and breaking new ground.
I had a great time talking with Kate Jones for the podcast! Kate is a Suzuki bass specialist working in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford School District in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She is doing remarkable things for young bass students!
Spending time with Jack Unzicker was a major highlight of my trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Jack is an assistant professor at The University of Texas at Arlington and is one of the most professionally active bassists in the region.
I had a great time chatting with Dallas Symphony bassist and Southern Methodist University faculty member Brian Perry! Brian is also on the Board of Directors for the Bradetich Foundation and the International Society of Bassists, and he is the editor for the Bass World column “In The Zone.”
