Vilar Performing Arts Center: Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn with Colorado Symphony

"Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, 'the king and queen of the banjo,' have a musical partnership like no other. Bela Fleck is a sixteen-time Grammy Award-winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. On stage, Fleck and Washburn will perform pieces from their Grammy-winning self-titled debut as well as their new record, Echo in the Valley (2017). The duo will present a stunning Song Cycle surrounded by the opulent harmonies of the Colorado Symphony."
