Programme to include: works by Gabrielli, Carter, Holliger and Kurtág for solo double bass, Chopin’s Piano Sonata No 2 and South American works for double bass and piano.

Just 25 years old, Edicson Ruiz is establishing his credentials as a master of the double bass. Born in Caracas and a graduate of the Venezuelan El Sistema scheme, at just 17 Ruiz became the first Latin American, and youngest-ever, member of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Teaming up with Argentine-Venezuelan Sergio Tiempo, he will have The Queen’s Hall moving to the South American rhythms of Ginastera and Piazzolla.
