The Vail Series presents The Westerlies

Grammy-nominated ensemble mixing ideas from jazz, classical, and Appalachian folk

The Westerlies, "an arty quartet...mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk" (The New York Times), hold a singular space in modern music. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, the GRAMMY-nominated ensemble has upended presumptions of the brass tradition to create music that is "folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous" (NPR Music).
