Chris Thile, frontman for the band Punch Brothers and former member of Nickel Creek, joins the ASO for a performance of his newly-composed Mandolin Concerto, plus music that inspires him from Bach to Radiohead. See why Washington Post says that Thile “may well be the most virtuosic American to ever play the mandolin.”
