Pierre Schryer, Martin Nolan and Adam Dobres TRIO
It is a rare and very special occasion when these three fine musicians get together to play music. Pierre makes a yearly trip from Ontario to BC near Adam’s home on Pender Island, while Martin comes every 2 years from Ireland to visit the West Coast. Although the time between collaborations is long, when these exceptional artists do unite it is a high quality and magical experience.
“Three exceptional artists from three rich cultural traditions - a high energy performance that you won’t soon forget.”
