One of the most electrifying stars in the next generation of musicians, Avery Fisher Career Grant and Sphinx Competition winner bassist Xavier Foley join us for his solo debut on a major New York City stage. Foley is a once-in-a-generation talent who can take an instrument like the double bass and – through the sheer force of his artistry – make it a gorgeous, singing, solo instrument. Hear him bring lyricism and poetry to a Bach cello suite, pyrotechnics to a double bass showpiece (Gliere’s Tarantella), and his gifts as a composer to his own playful and virtuosic Irish Fantasy, a piece that crosses genres and radiates joy.
The broadcast will begin at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern.
The concert stream will be available to ticket buyers for one full week from the time of broadcast. View it live, or at your convenience!
