Dear Students!

You are a student and don’t have much money to spend for accommodation? We have asked around among music students in Berlin, who would be willing to take another student in for the time of the convention. We still have some places to offer!

If you are interested or have any queries about this, please contact Alexander Saier on +49 (0) 178 45 99 570!

Dear Competitors,

the competition deadlines for the BASS2010 Solo Competition, the BASS2010 Audition Competition and the BASS2010 Jazz Competition have all been extended to 31. July 2010.

Make sure you register and send in your life recording by this new date – if selected for the semifinals in Berlin you will be notified by 31. August 2010.

Dear double bass jazzers!

The terms and conditions for the BASS2010 Jazz Competition are now out and ready to view here on our website: http://bass2010.com/competitions/bass2010-jazz-competition

Its chairman, Professor Greg Cohen from the Jazz Institut Berlin, is ready to receive your applications. Please be aware that the deadline for sending in your qualification CD is rather soon: June 15, 2010.

Apart from the opportunity to meet many like-minded people at the competition and the convention, there are attractive prizes to be won – not only a double bass by Björn Stoll worth about 8000 Euros, but also 2000 Euros in cash and a Contra SII amplifier.

So, what are you waiting for?
Good luck to all participants!

Dear BASS2010 friends!

We hope you had a good start to this exciting new year, for which we are wishing you all the best. The BASS2010-Team is working hard and pulling the strings to substantiate the different processes involved in the organization of this big event.

In the meantime, the guidelines for the BASS2010 Solo Competition and the BASS2010 Youth Competition have been worked out. You can find all information on who can enter and how to register here. Very shortly a Pay-Pal-system will be set up, too, which allows you to pay registration fees comfortably online.

We are also currently negotiating discounted rates for BASS2010 guests with different hotels in Berlin. As soon as we can, we will inform you about the results and you will be able to find our recommendations for accommodation also on this website.

We hope you will continue to follow us on this journey and hope to see you eventually in Berlin in october this year!

Your BASS2010-Team

Dear friends of the double bass!

The time has finally come: From today onwards you can get the latest information about the International Double Bass Convention BASS2010 in Berlin on the the official BASS2010 website.

As some details with regards to the exact time schedule and program have not finally been decided upon, the information on this website will continually grow in the upcoming weeks and months. Then you will also be able to support us by becoming a member in the Förderverein BASS2010 (support association BASS2010). Until then you can lend us your support by becoming a fan of BASS2010 on facebook or following @bass2010 on twitter. There you will also find news and the latest developments and you can connect to other BASS2010 fans.

We would like to take the official website launch as a welcome opportunity to thank our sponsors – therefore a big thank you to Thomastik, Bassico, Björn Stoll, UDK Berlin, Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, Musicon Valley and Musikverlag Saier & Hug!

If you have any comments on this website for us, feel free to contact us by e-Mail or on Facebook.
