Program
Meet the Artists

Choose your favorite music. Bluegrass? Classical? Alternative rock? The Punch Brothers—led by Chris Thile, one of the most imaginative musicians in America—are all these things and more. They play “stunning, dexterous pop Americana,” and can be “disarming, delicate … improbably beautiful … [and] deliriously cheesy” (Village Voice).
