Heather Miller Lardin
Double Bass, Violone
Heather Miller Lardin is principal bassist of the Handel + Haydn Society and directs the Temple University Early Music Ensemble. Curious about all things historical bass, Heather designs online workshops engaging like-minded bassists worldwide. Her recent Baroque Double Bass course is on discoverdoublebass.com. In a similar vein, Heather co-founded Night Music, a period ensemble presenting Revolutionary- & Romantic-era repertoire in intimate salons, to mobilize her instrument collection in ways that expand her musical palette and technique. Her teaching studio welcomes bassists ages 3-83+, assisted by two Maine Coon cats. Heather makes her home in her native Philadelphia suburbs, where she started bass in 6th-grade orchestra. When not teaching, tuning, or chauffeuring teenagers, she enjoys a cozy mystery and a good cup of coffee. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, Heather holds a DMA in Historical Performance Practice from Cornell University.
