Nina DeCesare on Auditions and Biomechanics

Join Baltimore Symphony bassist, Nina DeCesare, as she guides us through overarching principles of audition excerpt preparation using Mozart's 35th Symphony and Strauss' Ein Heldenleben as examples. We'll explore how to approach and elevate these standard excerpts through heightened body awareness and an examination of right and left hand technique, allowing for both healthy biomechanics as well as stylistic artistic expression. This livestream is aimed towards intermediate to advanced players, and bringing your bass along is encouraged!
