The Lark, Roman, and Meyer Trio brings together three of the most versatile and accomplished artists in the world of music, blending their distinct talents to create a musical experience unlike any other. Seven-time Grammy-winning double bassist Edgar Meyer, and acclaimed cellist and composer Joshua Roman, make their Moab Music Festival debut alongside Festival Artistic Director Tessa Lark.
Hailed by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument,” Edgar Meyer continues to redefine the possibilities of the double bass. In 2011, Meyer collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan and Chris Thile on “The Goat Rodeo Sessions,” which won two Grammy Awards in 2013. Meyer earned his fifth Grammy Award in 2015 for “Bass & Mandolin,” a recording with Thile, and has since received his sixth and seventh Grammy Awards for “As We Speak.” His recent compositions include a contribution to “The Elements,” a project commissioned by violinist Joshua Bell and the New York Philharmonic.
Cellist and composer Joshua Roman is known for his genre-bending programs and innovative approach to classical music. Gramophone has described him as a musician who “combines the expressive control of Casals with the creative individuality and virtuoso flair of Hendrix himself.” He has been hailed as “one of the great exemplars of the ideal 21st-century musician” by Yo-Yo Ma.
Reflecting on this collaboration, Meyer shared, “In 1986-1988, I wrote a series of three string trios that I premiered with Daniel Phillips and Carter Brey at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. These were the first longer pieces I had conceived as such, setting the tone for my next four decades. Only one was partially recorded. After meeting Tessa and Joshua a few years ago, I realized they were the perfect partners to help me document this personal milestone. I have now set out to write a new trio for us to ‘complete the thought.’”
