Members of the NAFA strings faculty present a concert featuring the double bass in solo, duo, and chamber settings. The evening’s repertoire ranges from familiar favourites, such as Eccles’ Sonata and Koussevitzky's Double Bass Concerto, to Mendelssohn's Octet which was described by music critic Conrad Wilson as "one of the miracles of nineteenth-century music" owing to "its youthful verve, brilliance and perfection".
