The Kruger Brothers will join the Thayer Symphony Orchestra with their Bluegrass style of music on Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30 p.m. at the Dukakis Performing Arts Center of Monty Tech School in Fitchburg.  This is the final concert of TSO’s 35th anniversary season.

The Kruger Brothers’ sound is both intense and tranquil, it's classic, classy and classical, and it's jazzy and grassy -- all at the same time.

Born and raised in Switzerland, Jens and Uwe Kruger have been performing professionally since 1973. After playing for twenty years throughout Europe in various styles and venues, Uwe on guitar and Jens on banjo, the brothers invited bassist Joel Landsberg to join them, and the three musicians formed the acoustic trio audiences around the world known as the Kruger Brothers.

The Kruger Brothers’ performances are exciting, calming, entertaining and spontaneous, reflecting their sheer joy in playing music. Their virtuoso playing combined with the manner in which they interact with each other and with their audience makes their music uniquely special. The Kruger Brothers' musical style defies definition, encompassing all styles of music through their personal individual development, classical European musical influences, and love of the American spirit. Combine it all together and the result is what can only be described as new American music.
