Roman Patkoló
He got a scholarship from the foundation organized by  the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.  This foundation has encouraged several composers to write new solo works for the double bass.  Mutter’s husband, the conductor Sir André Previn, composed a concerto for violin, double bass and orchestra, which was first performed in 2007 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Previn conducting and Mutter and Patkoló as soloists.
