Congratulations to John Adams and Chris Thile & Edgar Meyer, all winners at the 57th Grammy Awards, held in Los Angeles last night. The awards were presented during the Grammy premiere ceremony at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live.

Composer John Adams's album City Noir, comprising the title piece, inspired by LA "noir" films of the 1940s and '50s, and the debut recording of his 2012 Saxophone Concerto, won the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance for the St. Louis Symphony and conductor David Robertson, featuring soloist Timothy McAllister on saxophone. The album was also nominated for Best Engineered Album, Classical.

Chris Thile and bassist Edgar Meyer's duo album, Bass & Mandolin, won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. The album features ten original compositions by the two artists, who have been performing together sporadically for more than a decade and made their recording debut as a duo with 2008’s Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile. Bass & Mandolin was also nominated for Best Instrumental Composition for the album track "Tarnation" and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

Thile and Meyer were in attendance for the ceremony, and offered these words of thanks backstage:
