We’re chatting with Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Assistant Principal Bass Jeremy McCoy on this week’s Contrabass Conversations episode. Jeremy attended the Curtis Institute and was a member of the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Canada prior to his appointment with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Jeremy and I discuss a wide variety of topics, including his early experiences on the instrument, life in the Met, thoughts on teaching, recording a solo album, and much more. We’ll conclude this two-part interview in the coming weeks. Enjoy! link to Jeremy’s website link to Jeremy’s Manhattan School of Music page link to Jeremy’s album Dialogues with Double Bass
