Interview with Božo Paradžik

Q&A session Recorded live at the 2021 Dutch Double Bass Festival

Join us for our Q&A session with the great soloist, educator, and arranger, Božo Paradžik. We discuss Božo's current and past projects including the amazing story of his current miniatures project, his festival programme, arranging for the bass, musicianship, and Bozo gives his advice to the students in the audience.

This video was filmed in front of a live studio audience at the 2021 Dutch Double Bass Festival, for their 'Talking Bass' sessions. We would like to thank the whole team at the Dutch Double Bass Festival for running such a professional event and encourage everyone to check out their next festival in 2023. It's a unique festival and there really is something for all bassists!
