Peter Hildebrandt: string bass Peter has been playing the string bass since he was eight. Nearly forty years later, he’s still at it with classical, jazz, and everything in between. Principal bassist with the Georgia Philharmonic, he also regularly plays with the Gainesville Symphony and New Atlanta Philharmonic. Peter is the founder of the Georgia Chamber Music Retreat, and co-founder of the Rose City Chamber Orchestra in Portland, Oregon. He has worked in small jazz ensembles and big bands for the last 15 years. He is also one half of the Ernst/Hildebrandt Duo which plays with singers around Atlanta. When he’s not playing music, he’s usually playing cello or piano.   Copyright © 2009, After Hours Quintet.
