Ep. 8: Blake Hilley

Blake Hilley just finished his freshman year at the Juilliard School, and he’s already done more than many people do during their entire undergraduate careers.   Here are just a few of the projects he has accomplished in this short period of time:  he premiered a solo work for bass titled Bass Heart by composer Bishu Chattopadhyay he released a recording of himself performing Kol Nidrei he put out a ton of recordings on his YouTube channel, including a quite entertaining cover of I Fought the Law (also singing!) he wrote an article for the Juilliard Admissions Blog titled A Day in the Life of a Double Bassist  He has also played with the Juilliard Orchestra, where he worked with Itzhak Perlman and many others, performed in the New Juilliard Ensemble, and has been studying with Albert Laszlo. If Blake has done this much in just one year, I can’t wait to see what he accomplishes by the time he wraps up his undergraduate degree!

Check out their Zyex strings, which are synthetic core strings that produce an extremely warm, rich sound.

Kolstein Music The Samuel Kolstein Violin Shop was founded by Samuel Kolstein in 1943 as a Violin and Bow making establishment in Brooklyn, New York. Now on Long Island, over 60 years later, Kolstein’s has built a proud reputation for quality, craftsmanship and expertise in both the manufacture and repair of a whole range of stringed instruments, and has expanded to a staff of twelve experts in restoration, marketing and production.

Upton Bass String Instrument Company Upton's Karr Model Upton Double Bass represents an evolution of our popular first Karr model, refined and enhanced with further input from Gary Karr. Since its introduction, the Karr Model with its combination of comfort and tone has gained a loyal following with jazz and roots players. The slim, long “Karr neck” has even become a favorite of crossover electric players.
