Tessa Lark, violin

Joshua Roman, cello

Edgar Meyer, double bass

Tessa Lark, at once a widely praised violinist and acclaimed Appalachian fiddler, is more than a performer: she’s a convener of adventurous, up-for-anything collaborators. For this concert, she’s assembled an accomplished trio that spans the generations, bringing together artists who span, blend, and play with genres. 

Lark blends the elegance and expressiveness of her classical training with the spontaneity and verve of bluegrass and mountain music. Her joyful style sets a beautifully collaborative tone when paired with Edgar Meyer and Oklahoma-born cellist, composer, and curator Joshua Roman.  

Bassist Edgar Meyer, a Celebrity Series mainstay and perpetual fan favorite, has been collaborating with orchestras, ensembles, and other luminaries from across the musical spectrum for decades. Joshua Roman, a driving force in breaking down barriers around classical music, has been called “one of the great exemplars of the ideal 21st century musician,” by Yo-Yo Ma.  

Their joyful and virtuosic blend of genres, styles, and inspirations makes this compelling trio an absolute must-see.
