A Winter's Eve Concert with David Arkenstone and Friends in Fort Collins, CO, on December 2nd, 2025 at The Lincoln Center

Five-time GRAMMY®-nominated composer, performer, and multi-instrumentalist David Arkenstone returns to The Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, this holiday season with A Winter’s Eve with David Arkenstone and Friends for one night only in Fort Collins on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. As with any David Arkenstone concert, you will experience a rich palette of instruments—guitars, keyboards, flutes, violin, cello, mandolin, bass, viola, drums and percussion—and his world-class band who bring the musical spirit of the season to life. On stage, David and his ensemble create a vibrant holiday soundscape that blends neo-classical crossover, pop, new age, Celtic, orchestral, and world music. The festive atmosphere and virtuoso musicianship set the tone for a magical night.

“Each winter I try to paint the season in sound,” says Arkenstone. “This concert is a joyful gathering—familiar carols and festive new pieces that bring people together to share the excitement and wonder of the holidays."

"David Arkenstone and his fantastic band absolutely wowed the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts audience last year with their amazing sold-out Christmas concert event!”— Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake, Colorado

This concert performance is part of a 16-date U.S. Western States holiday tour across Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
