Transcend musical boundaries-from Bach to bluegrass-during an evening performance featuring musician and composer Edgar Meyer, his acoustic bass, and his unique mix of musical selections. Appreciated by a varied audience for his unparalleled technique combined with a gift for composition, his uniqueness in the field earned him a MacArthur Award in 2002. Meyer has received five Grammy awards for his collaborative work, including Best Folk Album in 2012 and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2015. In 2000, he became the only bassist to receive the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. His list of collaborators reflects the unique niche he's carved in the musical world. Meyer has worked with some of the world's top musicians from a variety of genres, including Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain, Stuart Duncan, Chris Thile, and Mark O'Connor.
