🎶 Summer Concert Series at artsPlace

Genre-spanning excitement: EDM, dub-punk, acoustic, metal, folk, soul, and classical — there’s truly something for every musical taste.

• Local & global artistry: From the Bow Valley’s own artists to internationally renowned acts, this lineup bridges homegrown pride and the world stage.

• Electric atmosphere: Whether it’s a rave, festival pit, a gentle guitar set, or soul-deep acoustic vibes, each show promises authentic, unique energy.

• Community heart: It’s more than concerts. It’s an open-door celebration of Canmore’s creative pulse—accessible, intimate, and always surprising.

Step into a world of exquisite fingerstyle guitar with Pierre Bensusan as he celebrates 50 years of solo artistry. Bensusan’s virtuosity blends folk, jazz, classical, and world rhythms into an intimate acoustic tapestry. This concert is a perfect counterpoint—quiet yet profoundly moving.
