JACOB COLLIER & CHRIS THILE WITH BRITTEN SINFONIA

This evening’s concert is born from a long-standing friendship between Britten Sinfonia’s leader, Thom, and Jacob. Thom has known Jacob since he was a baby, having been closely connected to the Collier family through Suzie, his violin teacher for ten years while he was growing up. Jacob was born when Thom was eleven, and both have watched each other’s careers take off in the jazz, pop and classical worlds in years since. It’s wonderful that Suzie, Thom, Jacob, and close friend Chris Thile can all take the stage together for these two unique concerts, premiering Jacob’s new piece written especially for Britten Sinfonia.
