About the Soloist
Hugh Bessolo is a fourth-year student pursuing a B.S.M. in Finance and a B.A. in Music at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). He has played bass in a variety of ensembles and clubs at CWRU, including Case/University Circle Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Winds, Jazz I and II big bands, foot lighters, and a number of jazz combos. Whether it was playing guitar in a rock band, or playing bass in the jazz trio he co-founded in high school, Hugh has always been passionate about music. During his time at CWRU he has continued to develop both as a jazz and classical musician as well as discovering his interest in composition. When not playing music, Hugh loves to be outdoors, especially out west, skiing, and mountain biking.
Acknowledgments
Hugh would like to thank his primary applied music instructor and capstone advisor Dr. Kathleen Horvath, his capstone instructor Dr. AJ Kluth, the CWRU Department of Music, and everyone who has supported him throughout his undergraduate career. Additionally, Hugh would like to thank his parents for always supporting his music.
