For the first time in over a year, the Creston Concert Society is happy to announce the first live concert during the pandemic.

The Marc Atkinson Trio, featuring Cameron Wilson on violin, will perform on Sunday, Oct. 24 in the theatre at the Creston Valley Secondary School at 2 p.m.

The trio consists of JUNO-nominated, award-winning Marc Atkinson on acoustic lead guitar, Brett Martens on acoustic rhythm guitar, Scott White with stand-up bass. Their melodies draw inspiration from classical, jazz, and roots traditions.

According to their website, “the music of this virtuosic group is melodically captivating, sensually charged and ferociously, technically awe-inspiring.” For more information, visit www.marcatkinson.com
