Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio is swimming in a new stream.

He's joining the 85 musicians of the Vermont Youth Orchestra for a performance Friday in Troy, N.Y. Two days later they will perform the same concert at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, Vt. Both shows are sold out.

"The first day I came here and sat down I was nervous," Anastasio said before Sunday's rehearsal. "I knew there were 15-year-old oboe players who could outplay me."

He and the young musicians will perform "Guyute," an orchestra version of a composition Anastasio wrote during a trip to Ireland in 1992.
