Repertoire of Bassoonist George Zukerman

Renowned on five continents for his countless recitals and orchestral appearances, George Zukerman is arguably the world's only solo bassoonist plying the international concert circuit on a regular basis. Through more than four decades of world-wide touring, this Canadian virtuoso has single-handedly elevated the bassoon from penal servitude in the bank ranks of the orchestra to an honoured role as soloist.

The Singapore Sun referred to Mr. Zukerman as the "Pablo Casals of the bassoon." The Natal Mercury called him the "Heifitz of the Bassoon" The Capetown Argus declared him "The Segovia of the bassoon"....but it took the Prince George (BC) Citizen to dub him "The Eddie Van Halen of the bassoon"

Indeed, with a programme that will appeal equally to lovers of exquisite lieder or devotees of acid rock, George Zukerman enchants audiences with dazzling performances and witty, informative and casual programme commentary.
