Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Travis Harrison teaches double bass at the University of Toronto, and is in high demand as a freelance soloist, chamber musician, and section leader in the Southern Ontario region.

His deep love of music led him to his Toronto Symphony debut at age 18, and to a tenured position with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra from 2013-2019. Travis has appeared as principal bass with the National Arts Centre and Canadian Opera Company orchestras, among others.

He has served the bass community as a Board Chair of the International Society of Bassists; is a consultant for tonebase where he is responsible for their double bass content and platform curation; and co-authored “The Canadian School of Double Bass’’ technique books with his mentor, Joel Quarrington.

He proudly performs on a bass commissioned from Montreal master luthier Mario Lamarre and bows by Ottawa’s Bernard Walke.
