The Big Strings Weekend: Yuri Goloubev (double bass) and Simone Locarni (piano)

There are bass players, and then there’s Yuri Goloubev, the Russian bass superstar who moves effortlessly between the twin worlds of classical and jazz. For Goloubev, classics by Schumann and Bottesini are just the upbeat to a whole new adventure, as the spirit of jazz collides with the music of the baroque and classical era - an unmissable highlight of our Big Strings Weekend.
