The Athens Guitar Trio arrived in Orofino last week on their first stop of a concert tour in Idaho and put on a spectacular performance for the first concert of the 2011-2012 Community Concert series… Individually they play with passion for the music and collectively, as the trio, their sounds blend to produce one harmonic tone that is pleasing to the ear and tends to soothe the soul.

What a wonderful way to open the 25th season of the Arts at Coker. The Athens Guitar Trio is amazing! Their ensemble work and programming are excellent and their rapport with the audience is outstanding. The Arts at Coker United Methodist Church, San Antonio, Texas, could not have asked for a more musically fulfilling concert. The Athens Guitar Trio is definitely on our “have back” list.~
