#BeltitOutBasses • Today's name that tune segment is appropriately majestic - one reason why this piece became popular during the Christmas season! 🎄🤴🏾🤴🤴🏿🎄 #NormaandJoe
#BeltitOutBasses • Today's name that tune segment is sponsored by "mission accomplished!?" 😅🤷🏾♂️😂 As described by the composer: "Im Tempo eines gemächlichen Ländlers: Etwas täppisch und sehr derb." 😄 What say ye?
#BeltitOutBasses • Tonight's name that tune segment is brought to you by a very famous double bass excerpt! 🎉 Orchestra excerpts can become boring and monotonous only when we forget that they are part of a much bigger, beautiful picture. When placed in context, they can remind us why we pursued music in the first place! 🤗 #NormaandJoe

Fun fact: This was the very last excerpt asked of me in this very hall when I took my first professional audition ever - to become a substitute member of the bass section of The Philadelphia Orchestra, 23 years ago. 😱 Guess who didn't get on the list! 🫣😝😅 If you ever want to see my rejection letter, it's in my bass locker at work. 😉 (It's also on my IG post from Aug 28 2019 ☺️)
#BeltItOutBasses • Today's name that tune segment is sponsored by an oldie but a goodie!! Looking forward to three performances of this great work @philorch this weekend!! 😄 #NormaandJoe
Happy Thanksgiving! As we are year-round, CMS is thankful today for our wonderful and devoted audience and our inspiring and exceptional artists.
Today, we look back on a moment of festiveness and communion in an uncertain time.
Johann Sebastian Bach’s joyous Brandenburg Concertos are a cornerstone of Baroque music, each one uniquely scored to explore different combinations of instruments. The jubilant No. 6 in B-flat Major spotlights the richness of lower strings—violas, cello, and double bass.
This 2021 CMS performance—from Alice Tully Hall features Yura Lee and Che-Yen Chen, viola; Dmitri Atapine, cello; Inbal Segev and Timothy Eddy, viola da gamba; Joseph Conyers, double bass; and Kenneth Weiss, harpsichord.
