The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Performing Arts Center welcomes Grammy-nominated bassist Edgar Meyer and violinist Caitlin Tully at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 14 as part of the Charles Vanda Master Series. The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Symphony Orchestra accompanies these sensational artists.
Prominently established as a unique and masterful instrumentalist, Meyer delights his audiences both as a vibrant performer and an innovative composer. Hailed by the New Yorker as a "remarkable virtuoso," Meyer demonstrates unparalleled technique and musicianship. His gifts earned for him a MacArthur Award in 2002.
Seventeen-year-old Tully, a prot?g? of Itzhak Perlman, has emerged as one of the most compelling artists of her generation. She made her debut with the Vancouver Symphony at the age of 10, displaying a musical maturity and inspiration far beyond her years.
