Melony Dodson talks with Edgar Meyer, Tessa Lark, and Joshua Roman about their performance at the Big Ears Festival 2025. They will perform an early string trio by Edgar Meyer, music of Bach, and a brand new trio by Meyer, which was commissioned, in part, by the Big Ears Organization.

Double bassist, Edgar Mayer, violinist, Tessa Lark, and cellist, Joshua Roman, are no strangers to performing and composing various styles of music. In fact, one might say that characteristic is core to their musical identities and is what brought them together as a trio. At Big Ears 2025, they will perform music of Johann Sebastian Bach, an early string trio by Meyer (composed when he was around twenty-five years old), a brand new trio, which was jointly commissioned by the Big Ears Organization. The performance is on Sunday, March 30th at 4:30pm in the magnificent Tennessee Theatre. Learn more in this interview with Melony Dodson.

Melony calls the beautiful mountains of Boone, N.C., home, although she was born near Greensboro, N.C. There’s just something about those Blue Ridge Mountains that got in her blood and never left after she moved there to attend Appalachian State University (ASU). While at ASU, she majored in piano performance and music therapy and began to cultivate a love for accompanying and for collaborating with other musicians. This soon led her to earn a master’s degree in collaborative piano at the University of Tennessee, which she attended from 2006-2008.
