Chris Thile is a founding member of the highly influential bluegrass string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, while his collaborators range from Jacob Collier and Brad Mehldau to Yo-Yo Ma. The delicate intricacy of his playing gives the listener “one joyous arc, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty.” (New York Times) 

Thile joins Britten Sinfonia and acclaimed conductor Suzie Collier, mother of and guiding light to Jacob Collier, and former violin teacher of the orchestra’s leader, Thomas Gould.
