Mandolin master and composer Chris Thile returns to SMF, this time in a solo context, in which he'll perform a mixture of Bach and his own original works. Whether leading the Punch Brothers, playing old country duets with Michael Daves, or performing with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan, Mr. Thile is widely regarded as one of the most interesting and inventive acoustic musicians of his generation. He has extended the possibilities of the mandolin with his combination of unprecedented virtuosity and inexhaustible musical facility.

"...a genius of the mandolin."
