Oregon Bach Festival: An Evening with Chris Thile

The Grammy Award-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer, and MacArthur “Genius” Grant Fellow returns to OBF with sonatas and partitas from J.S. Bach, as well as a selection of Thile’s own music. An electrifying evening of Baroque architecture meeting modern imagination, precision, and fearless musical invention. Hailed by NPR as a “genre-defying musical genius,” 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).
