He’s a MacArthur “Genius,” a multiple Grammy winner, and one of the most versatile bassists alive. Edgar Meyer has redefined what the double bass can do—across bluegrass, classical, and beyond.

Tonight, hear him bring his virtuosity to Bottesini’s Double Bass Concerto on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's program director. She also hosts Sunday Spotlight and produces Sunday Baroque.
