Don't miss it! ___________________________ Fiddler, composer, producer and educator Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. He has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his 40-year involvement with numerous pathbreaking ensembles such as the David Grisman Quintet, his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, Montreux, his Duo with Mike Marshall, and many others. He has performed and taught all over the world with musicians such as David Grisman, Dr. Billy Taylor, Bela Fleck, Bill Evans, Edgar Meyer, Bill Frisell, Marin Alsop and the Cabrillo Orchestra, Tony Rice, Tim O'Brien, the Detroit Symphony, Aoife O'Donovan, Mark O’Connor, and Stephane Grappelli. Darol can be heard on NPR's "Car Talk" theme every week, along with Earl Scruggs, David Grisman and Tony Rice.
