Nate's World
LA Opera Orchestra Principal Bass Nathan Farrington takes you on a musical safari ranging from Haydn to Hank Williams. Nate will be joined on piano by best buddy Teddy Abrams (Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra), LA Opera Concertmaster Roberto Cani, percussionist Gabriel Globus-Hoenich and guitarist Molly Miller. These musical trailblazers demonstrate the skills they honed in the conservatory, as they journey through a diverse landscape of genres and styles. Going on safari into Nate's World requires no particular advance preparation, however we do recommend bringing a few different sets of ears!
