Already a household name in the international community, the double bass has taken Travis Harrison around the globe as a chamber musician, soloist, and section leader.
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Travis Harrison teaches double bass at the University of Toronto, and is in high demand as a freelance soloist, chamber musician, and section leader in the Southern Ontario region.
His deep love of music led him to his Toronto Symphony debut at age 18, and to a tenured position with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra from 2013-2019. Travis has appeared as principal bass with the National Arts Centre and Canadian Opera Company orchestras, among others.
He has served the bass community as a Board Chair of the International Society of Bassists; is a consultant for tonebase where he is responsible for their double bass content and platform curation; and co-authored “The Canadian School of Double Bass’’ technique books with his mentor, Joel Quarrington.
He proudly performs on a bass commissioned from Montreal master luthier Mario Lamarre and bows by Ottawa’s Bernard Walke.
"I don't regret for a minute having spent the money on the membership. There's something for every musician on tonebase – I recommend you give it a try."
