Once again, we’ll appear at the Chicago Bass Festival!
February 1, 2015, on the grounds of the Ravinia Festival – see the link above for details. Festival registration for full participation is $50 ($45 for MYA members), but if you inquire, you can purchase an “observer” ticket for $15. This allows you to watch all the lectures, workshops and performances, but not actively participate. Perfect if you’d just like to see us perform.
The festival begins at 9:00 am, and we are currently scheduled to perform at 1:00 pm in Bennett-Gordon hall.
Performers:
- Josh Harrison
- Doug Johnson
- Julian Romane
- Jacque Harper
- Andy Anderson
- Neal Rodack
- Matthew Coley, marimba
- Leslie B. Dunner, conductor
At this performance, we’ll reprise the piece we premiered in March, 2014, Rural Sketches for marimba and six double basses!
Program:
- Anderson: Quartet 1987
- Osborne: Dreamtime
- Jeanrenaud, arr Harper: Livre
- Iachimciuc: Rural Sketches
- Byrd, arr Cameron: Ave Verum Corpus

[…] checked on scheduling for rehearsals for Feb 1 […]
Are there tickets available for only the concert rather than attending the entire bass festival event?
Marc: Yes, you can register as an “Observer” for $15. See the next-to-last question on bassfest.mya.org/home/faq . I’m not sure what mechanism you use to register that way, but perhaps there is a selection on the registration form.
Thank you for asking, and giving me the opportunity to share this information!!
