The New Yorker knows him as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument.” Yo-Yo Ma knows him as a musical partner — they teamed up in 2020 for Not Our First Goat Rodeo and in 1996 with violinist Mark O’Connor for Appalachian Waltz.

Now you can get to know bassist Edgar Meyer when he performs for our 2021 Akron Concert Series.

This genre-defying performance will span bluegrass to Bach’s beloved Cello Suite No. 1. Throughout, Edgar will share stories about his life and music.
