Double bass virtuoso…composer…conductor…impresario…

This evening’s concert celebrates the work of Serge Koussevitzky, whose gloriously tuneful Concerto for double bass is the leading work for the instrument, and who commissioned Ravel’s famous orchestration of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. The soloist is the extraordinary double bass virtuoso Ha Young Jung, winner of the RCM Concerto Competition.
