DESCRIPTION:Band on the Wall presents… 
(A Band on the Wall Fundraiser) 

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 DQUOTEthat rare being"\:" an all-round musician\,” and hailed by NPR as a DQUOTEgenre-defying musical genius.DQUOTE Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek\, and has collaborated with caries 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.
