Grammy-winning singer and composer Chris Thile is performing an unconventional new work called “ATTENTION” 8 p.m. at Orchestra Hall on Friday, July 31, and Saturday, Aug. 1 with the Minnesota Orchestra. The piece is based on a story he has shared for years and has now adapted into a musical performance. Thile describes it as a blend of a mandolin concerto and an orchestral song cycle. 

He spoke with All Things Considered host Clay Masters soon after arriving in Minneapolis.
