Boston-born bassist Adrian Rigopulos was drawn to the double bass from a young age, out of a love for its deep sound color, but also for its integral role in a wide variety of musical genres. In the beginning, Rigopulos was primarily interested in bluegrass and punk, but a passion for classical music followed quickly thereafter. He is a founding member of the Helsinki Chamber Soloists. Adrian has also toured with Swiss jazz pianist and composer, Nik Bärtsch, as part of his ensemble Mobile.
Adrian participated in the orchestra academy of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich for the 2014/15 season and has played as a guest with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Gstaad Festival Orchestra, and the Filarmonica della Scala in Milan. In June 2015, Adrian completed his MMus Orchestra at the Hochschule Luzern in the class of Božo Paradžik. He also studied at the Hochschule der Künste Bern in the studio of David Sinclair and completed a Performance Diploma at The Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where he studied with Toronto Symphony Principal Bass, Jeffrey Beecher.
