Grammy-winning double bassist Edgar Meyer plays with Philharmonic Saturday

Edgar Meyer, the world’s pre-eminent double bassist, will solo at the South Carolina Philharmonic show Saturday, aptly titled “All About the Bass,” at the Koger Center.

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.”

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Koger Center, 1051 Greene St. Tickets are $23-$53, with student and military discounts available. kogercenterforthearts.com
