About Chris Thile:
Acclaimed Grammy Award-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer, and MacArthur Fellow
recipient of the prestigious “Genius Grant”, Chris Thile is a multifaceted musical talent, described by The
Guardian as "that rare being: an all-round musician,” and 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 to Brad Mehldau.
For four years, Thile hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (formerly known as A
Prairie Home Companion). With his broad outlook, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new
musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike, giving the listener “one joyous arc, with the linear
melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty” (New York Times).

Over the last year, Thile has been touring with Nickel Creek in support of the critically acclaimed 2023
release Celebrants, and captivating audiences with a playfully ambitious biographical composition
entitled ATTENTION! (a narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra).

The wide-ranging program of Thile’s 2025-2026 solo performances 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.
