We join the classical music community in mourning the passing of legendary double bass virtuoso and beloved teacher Gary Karr. Renowned for his extraordinary artistry and trailblazing contributions to the double bass, Karr was one of the instrument’s most influential figures. As a soloist, he performed with major orchestras around the world, commissioned and premiered numerous works, and recorded more than 90 albums—vastly expanding the bass repertoire and raising the profile of the instrument.
