Description:
The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech presents Grammy-Winning Guitar Icon Bill Frisell in concert titled "In My Dreams" featuring Jenny Scheinman, Eyvind Kang, Hank Roberts, Thomas Morgan and Rudy Royston on Friday, April 3, 2026.

Grammy-winning jazz guitar icon Bill Frisell’s career as a musician and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings. Musically versatile and understated, his spare, gleamingly delicate music has made him one of the most sought-after guitar voices in contemporary music.

"In My Dreams" draws together Frisell’s long-standing collaborators Jenny Scheinman (violin), Eyvind Kang (viola), Hank Roberts (cello), Thomas Morgan (bass), and Rudy Royston (drums).?Their history goes back decades, but never before in this particular configuration. Frisell thinks of it as a family gathering, a get-together with his closest friends.

Bill Frisell’s music catalog has been cited by Downbeat as “the best recorded output of the decade.” In recent years, Frisell has forged a distinctive and fruitful collaboration with the Blue Note label, releasing Orchestras (Grammy nominated), Four, Valentine, and HARMONY to great acclaim.

Recognized as one of America’s 21 most vital and productive performing artists, Frisell was named an inaugural Doris Duke Artist in 2012. He is also a recipient of grants from United States Artists and Meet the Composer, among others. In 2016 he was a beneficiary of the first FreshGrass Composition commission to preserve and support innovative grassroots music. Upon San Francisco Jazz opening its doors in 2013, he served as one of its resident artistic directors.

Frisell is the subject of a documentary film by director Emma Franz, entitled Bill Frisell: A Portrait, which examines his creative process in depth, as well as an extensive biography by Philip Watson, Beautiful Dreamer: The Guitarist Who Changed The Sound of American Music.
