A Solo Evening of Music with 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.” Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek and has collaborated with numerous luminaries, including Yo-Yo Ma, Fiona Apple and Brad Mehldau. For four years Thile hosted the 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” (The New York Times). Don’t miss this extraordinary solo performance that will take your breath away!

The 2025-2026 Masterpiece Season is sponsored by Kathy Moran Wealth Group.
