This four-day experience provides high school bassists with diverse opportunities to develop as both classical and jazz musicians, engage with peers from around the state and country, and enjoy the college experience at Ohio State. Participants will work directly with Ohio State’s bass professor Barry Green and guest artists. Bass Camp inspires and educates beyond the bass with classes in rhythm, theory, voice and movement. Program includes chamber ensembles, full bass orchestra, private lessons and evening faculty concerts, as well as the concluding Sunday evening program featuring all the participants in small and large ensembles.
