OTHERS AROUND THE MIDLANDS
“All About The Bass:” No, Meghan Trainor isn’t coming to Columbia. But a musician with equally impressive bass cred is.
Edgar Meyer, the world’s pre-eminent double bassist, will solo at the South Carolina Philharmonic’s next show, aptly titled “All About the Bass,” at the Koger Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9.
Meyer is a five-time Grammy Award winner and has worked with some of the biggest names in classical and instrumental music, including Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell and Bela Fleck. The New Yorker has called him “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively unchronicled history of his instrument.”
