Mandolinist/composer/singer/songwriter Chris Thile launches a ten-city solo tour of Europe at Alhambra in Paris tonight. The tour features songs from throughout his catalog—self-penned songs, traditional tunes, favorite covers, and works by Bach—and includes stops in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, London, Hamburg, Vienna, and more. In conjunction with his show at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Thile takes part in an afternoon performance workshop, sharing his approach to composing and performing and offering feedback to participants. See below for all of the currently scheduled shows; for all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Thile has had a typically action-packed year so far, having already released a critically acclaimed duo album with Brad Mehldau ("a spine-tingling triumph," Irish Times), concluded his inaugural season as host of A Prairie Home Companion, announced a summer tour with his fellow Punch Brothers, and revealed details of an album of Bach Trios with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and bassist Edgar Meyer, due April 7 and available to pre-order now, with trio tour dates to follow. (The trio also shared a video of them performing the album's opening track, which can be seen here.)

“The most impressive musicians are often versatile, but few match the breadth of the brilliant mandolinist Chris Thile,” says the New York Times. “His versatility is apparent in the remarkable range of colors and shadings he produces on his instrument; phrases unfold with myriad subtle gradations.”

To pick up a copy of Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau now, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where the Bach Trios album is also available to pre-order.
