Grammy winner Chris Thile is a phenomenon due to his solo concerts on
mandolin, in which he links bluegrass to classical music, indie rock and
improvisation. ‘Devilishly dexterous’ (The Guardian).

Chris
Thile is broadly recognized as a musical innovator. In his hands the
mandolin becomes a spectacular solo instrument. At a young age, the
American musician was already a country and bluegrass virtuoso, but he
dared to look further towards rock, jazz and classical music. His
current repertoire includes material by Bach as well as Radiohead.
During solo concerts he’s known to capture his audience with his humor
and knowledge.

Chris Thile made name with the Grammy-winning
group Nickel Creek and he currently celebrates success with the group
Punch Brothers. Thile continues to seek collaboration with respected
musicians from varied genres, from Brad Mehldau to Yo-Yo Ma and from
Dolly Parton to Jack White. Recently he became the new host of the music
show A Prairie Home Companion, which has been drawing millions of
listeners every week since 1974.

‘Thile treats the mandolin as if
it had a long virtuoso tradition, with constantly changing shapes and
rhythms in the solo line’ (Los Angeles Times).
