UUS:E Double Bassist Ryan Ford in Concert

He will be playing classical works for solo double bass,
ranging from Paganini to Rachmaninoff, and also performing contemporary works by Rabbath,
Nanny, and Kirsten Volness. He will be joined by fellow musicians Kirsten Volness (composer,
pianist, and educator, whose work has received high praise), Sean Rubin, and Director of Music
Pawel Jura.

Ryan Ford was born into music, beginning with piano at age eight, to trumpet and bass
guitar in high school. He did not discover his true passion until age 20, when he picked up his
first double bass. He received his Bachelor of Music from the University of Florida, Master of
Music from Hartt School of Music, and is pursuing the Doctor of Musical Arts at Hartt.
