Grammy-nominated violinist Tessa Lark and virtuoso composer/bassist Michael Thurber team up in a phenomenal program of two musical genres! Bach Meets Bluegrass brilliantly fuses the duo’s bluegrass roots (Tessa) and jazz roots (Michael) together for a unique blend of classical, folk, and original music – including Bach’s Inventions, as featured on their 2019 album, Invention.
