An Evening with Chris Thile at the Hult Center

The Grammy Award-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer, and MacArthur “Genius” Grant Fellow returns to OBF with selections from his acclaimed solo recordings of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas – including the second volume out now – alongside his signature post-genre blend of compositional rigor, folksy stagecraft, and improvisational brilliance. An electrifying evening of Baroque architecture meeting modern imagination, precision, and fearlessness. Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, and has collaborated with countless luminaries from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple. For four years, Thile hosted radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (formerly known as A Prairie Home Companion).
