About Nina Bernat, double bass

Nina Bernat is emerging as one of the world's foremost exponents of the double bass as solo instrument and is the recipient of the 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and winner of the 2023 CAG Elmaleh Competition. She enjoys a versatile career as an artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, and Music@Menlo, and currently serves as the double bass faculty at Stony Brook University.

The daughter of Korean and Polish parents, Ms. Bernat began her studies with her father, double bassist Mark Bernat, and performs on a rare and sonorous early-18th century bass, handed down from him and attributed to Guadagnini.
