Center Presents
Chris Thile
Payne & Mencias Palladium // Friday, Apr 10, 8pm ET
Grammy-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer and MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow Chris Thile is hailed by NPR as a "genre-defying musical genius." Thile is a founding member of the influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek and has collaborated with countless luminaries from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple to Brad Mehldau. For four years, he hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (previously A Prairie Home Companion). This solo performance will feature selections from his acclaimed solo recordings of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas – including the upcoming second volume out this autumn – alongside his signature mix of classical, folk and improvisational brilliance.
