One of today's most sought after instrumentalists, double bassist Edgar Meyer has collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, Hank Williams, Jr., Garth Brooks, James Taylor and on this Opening Night, the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. From Bottesini's classical piece to Meyer's own composition infused with jazz and blues, Meyer will dazzle you with his mastery of eclectic styles.  Then, the intoxicating rhythms of La Valse ("The Waltz") will sweep you off your feet!  Feel like you've had a bit of the bubbly at a ball without ever lifting a glass.  Cheers!

Beckel Toccata for Orchestra* (New Commission)
Verdi Prelude to Aida*
Bottesini Concerto No. 2 for Double Bass*
Meyer Concerto for Bass*
