Wies de Boevé is a soloist, teacher, and principal bass of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, after a decade with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Through performances and recordings, he champions the double bass and its repertoire, especially the music of Giovanni Bottesini. We discuss Wies’s performance of Bottesini’s F-sharp-minor Concerto in the Conductors’ Academy closing concert, why the concerto is often misidentified as Bottesini’s first, and how Wies chooses under-recorded works to bring back into view. He also reflects on switching from French to German bow, problem-solving in practice and teaching, what he looks for in students, and balancing a musical career with family life.

Today we're digging into a question community member Josh Hadfield recently wrote to me about surveying collegiate bass professors—what they look for in applicants in terms of audition material, and what repertoire they expect an incoming freshman to have been exposed to. I thought this was absolutely a great topic, and something that would be fun and hopefully informative to dig into.

Corcoran Holt is a Washington, D.C.–born bassist, composer, arranger, and educator whose musical roots stretch from the DC Youth Orchestra and Duke Ellington School of the Arts to work with artists including Kenny Garrett and Steve Turre. Now Assistant Professor of Jazz Bass at Arizona State University, Corcoran brings that deep performing experience into the classroom while continuing to develop his own voice as a bandleader. His second album, Freedom of Art, is an intimate musical portrait of transformation, family, loss, and new beginnings. In this conversation, Corcoran talks about building community at ASU, why fundamentals and real-world experience matter, and how musicians begin finding their identities after leaving school. He also shares how fatherhood changed his approach to improvisation, how bass lines, voice memos, piano, dreams, and everyday chaos feed his composing, and why Freedom of Art was designed as a complete story best heard from beginning to end. Listen to the conversation and Corcoran's album "Freedom of Art" at the podcast link in bio. #doublebass #bassist #contrabass by @doublebasshq
