Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn have a musical partnership like no other. A 15-time Grammy winner, Fleck is considered the world’s premier banjo player, while Washburn is a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who combines the instrument with Far East culture and sounds.
Using the banjo to showcase America’s rich heritage while pulling the noble instrument into new and unique realms, the duo presents music that feels wildly innovative and familiar at the same time. Fleck and Washburn perform pieces from their Grammy-winning self-titled debut, as well as their newest record, Echo in the Valley.
This performance will last approximately two and a half hours, including one 20-minute intermission.
