"Dr. Neil
Mendelson donates double bass to Arizona Bass Players" This
lovely English bass, made in the early part of the 20th century, has found
a new home with ABP. Dr. Mendelson's support of the organization is much appreciated.
The bass will be used as a loaner for visiting students and professionals.
See photos / story here.
"Stefano
Scodanibbio visited Tucson"
The
contemporary music expert and wild bass player, Stefano Scodanibbio, visited
Tucson and gave a wonderful master class and performance at the Univ. of Arizona
School of Music on May 5, 9:am to 11:00pm, in Crowder Hall (seen here with
some of the class participants).We were all so impressed and inspired! We
hope he returns soon!
