Jeff Bradetich

Jeff Bradetich was appointed to the orchestra of the Lyric Opera of Chicago aged just 19 and has since performed worldwide as a double bass soloist.

As a teacher he has championed the instrument, and in 2008 he established the Bradetich Foundation, whose competition offers the most generous awards in the history of the double bass.

Bradetich taught at the University of Michigan and at Midwestern University before his appointment in 1994 as director of the double bass programme at UNT.
