Andrew Bird and Britten Sinfonia

The Mysterious Production Of Eggs

Andrew Bird palying the violin

Balancing swelling sounds with jazz, folk, and pop melodies in a memorable display of unique virtuosity, Bird celebrates the 20th anniversary of his acclaimed record The Mysterious Production of Eggs.

The GRAMMY-nominated violinist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist returns to our stage for the first time since 2019 for a complete album performance with lush orchestral textures provided by Britten Sinfonia, closing with a set of fan favorites from his expansive, nearly 30-year catalog.

Since 1997, Bird has released 18 albums and performed around the world, headlining legendary venues like Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Renowned for his wide-ranging artistry, from TED Talks to scoring film and television, Andrew Bird’s creative reach extends beyond the stage. In 2025, he celebrates the 20th anniversary of his acclaimed album The Mysterious Production of Eggs with a limited run of concerts, performing the record in its entirety for the first time alongside a full orchestra.
