Edgar Meyer and the Scottish Ensemble

Grammy-winning bassist Edgar Meyer is celebrated the world over for his work as a performer and composer, while Scottish Ensemble has redefined the string orchestra with vibrant and engaging performances. These dynamos combine energies and genre-bending traditions for a performance featuring classical works from Holst, Bach, and Vaughan Williams, along with a piece from Caroline Shaw and the centerpiece of the program-a new composition by Meyer written especially for this tour.

Meyer's unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. His uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002.
