Chris Thile of the Punch Brothers is a mandolin virtuoso, composer and vocalist. With his broad outlook that encompasses progressive bluegrass, classical, rock and jazz, Thile transcends the borders of conventionally circumscribed genres, creating a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike. On this new program, he draws from his Bach: Sonatas & Partitas Vol. 1 recording while also exploring his own compositions and contemporary music.
