Béla Fleck to play at IU

Banjo player Béla Fleck has been added to the IU Auditorium fall performance schedule, according to an IU press release.

Fleck will perform solos and duets with his wife, clawhammer banjo player and singer Abigail Washburn, at 8 p.m. Oct. 30 at the IU Auditorium.

Though Fleck has experimented in musical styles ranging from pop to world beat, this program will feature classical and bluegrass styles.

Because of his varied approach to music, Fleck has been nominated in more musical categories than anyone else in Grammy history, according to his personal website.

He has been nominated for a Grammy 30 times and has won 15 times.

Tickets are now on sale at iuauditorium.com, the IU Auditorium Box Office and Ticketmaster.com.

Prices range between $23 to $49 for IU students with a valid student ID and $44 to $59 for non-students.
