AUSTA National Touring Artist 2024

Barry Green

Barry Green (USA), world-class double bassist, best-selling author, and renowned educator, is touring Australia from July to August as AUSTA’s National Touring Artist for 2024.

Double bass virtuoso Barry Green is the author of three bestselling books that explore the philosophy of music, the mind, and spirit: The Inner Game of Music (Doubleday, 1986), The Mastery of Music: Ten Pathways to True Artistry (Broadway/Doubleday, 2003), and Bringing Music to Life (GIA, 2009). He has also written three bass method books, produced numerous solo recordings, and created unique multimedia concert programs.

From July 5 to August 5, Barry Green will conduct workshops, concerts, masterclasses, and more as part of his tour with AUSTA. Green’s workshops engage the audience with lively group exercises and spontaneous coaching of individuals, instantly transforming performers’ concentration from a place of doubt to a state of relaxed focus. This is a unique opportunity to see a master at work, with real engagement that elevates our music from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Barry Green will also perform his unique and powerful narrated multimedia program, The Four Elements, dedicated to fire, water, air, and earth. This program addresses global warming and aims to empower audiences to appreciate and enrich their lives through these four elements.

AUSTA National President Nicole Strohfeldt says Green’s visit will have a significant impact on Australia’s string community:

“Barry Green is iconic in the music world for a reason. His charisma, expertise, and unbounded optimism are so infectious that just being in the same room makes you want to strive to be better—whether that means being a better musician or just a better human!” – Nicole Strohfeldt
