Spartanburg Philharmonic is proud to kick off its Bluegrass Spartanburg season with an unforgettable evening of music as internationally renowned bluegrass quartet The Krüger Brothers take the stage with the full Spartanburg Philharmonic on Saturday, October 11, at 7:00 PM in Twichell Auditorium.

The Krüger Brothers—Jens (banjo), Uwe (guitar, vocals), Jonah Horton (mandolin) and Joel Landsberg (bass)—are celebrated worldwide for their unmatched virtuosity and innovative blend of bluegrass, folk, and classical music.

To hear them perform with a full orchestra is a rare treat, and it embodies everything we strive for at Spartanburg Philharmonic: breaking boundaries, bringing people together, and showcasing the incredible diversity of music. This will be a show audiences will remember for years to come.”
