We open our Season celebrating many things Kentucky in this concert featuring composers, performers, and compositions related to our great Commonwealth! Included in the program is mandolinist extraordinaire Chris Thile, who gives the Kentucky debut of a piece for mandolin and orchestra called ATTENTION! A narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra.
