Alison Krauss and Union Station bring their luminous bluegrass to Wolf Trap Friday at 7:30 pm. Krauss' fiddle and feather-light soprano sit inside the band's knot-tight picking and harmonies, sliding from ancient fiddle tunes to modern country ballads with ease. Union Station balances precision and warmth, letting dobro, banjo, bass, and guitar breathe around her voice. It is a master class in acoustic dynamics from musicians who treat silence as part of the arrangement.
