Enjoy a beverage (sold separately) from our concession stand while experiencing skilled local artists sharing their work in the intimate UIS Studio Theatre. These short events will leave you with time for dinner afterwards to make for a great date night!Max Beckman has assembled an ensemble of four bass guitarists to present the unique sound of his original compositions that use only bass and vocals. The music is at times mellow, at times rhythmic, and always makes the listener ponder “am I really only hearing bass?”Springfield native Max Beckman started playing violin at the age of three at the Fleming Academy of Performing Arts. He went on to study saxophone in middle school and later fell in love with the bass guitar and studied double bass with Illinois Symphony Orchestra member Andrew Tinge. After spending his senior year of high school at Interlochen Arts Academy, he then studied at DePaul University’s School of Music under Kelly Sill and others. He has played with Bob James, Shelly Berg, Aaron Johnson, and at the Monterey Next Gen Jazz Festival. Max has toured and performed shows with Axis Sova, Woongi, Lamp, Fluer De Lune, Sean Green, Charles Gorzinski, Flux Bikes, Marquis Hill, Baron Von Something, Options, Sen Morimoto Northbrook Symphony, Oistrakh Symphony of Chicago, the Recycled Orchestra, Ilya Kaler, and Robert Chen.
