Beschreibung
David Heyes studied double bass with Laurence Gray and Bronwen Naish and
later at the Royal College of Music in London. He completed his post-graduate
studies in Prague with Frantisek Posta (Principal Double Bass, Czech
Philharmonic Orchestra). He has given recitals and masterclasses in 13
countries over the past few years and has been a juror at a number of
international competitions, twice as chairman. David has been Specialist
Double Bass Tutor at Wells Cathedral School for 19 years and received a
prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of New York for his
pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher and commissioner of
new music for double bass. He works with composers throughout the world and
is particularly interested to expand the double bass repertoire, by
commissioning new works and by rediscovering forgotten ones. Over the past 30
years he has commissioned more than 500 works, from beginner to virtuoso, and
from one to twenty basses. David has transcribed more than 200 works for
double bass, many published by Recital Music, and in recent year has also
composed a number of original works for double bass which have been performed
in Britain, America, Venezuela, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Germany and Czech
Republic. David is self-taught as a composer and his music has been described
as lyrical, evocative and accessible, but certainly of the 21st-century.
