Banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck and his band, the Flecktones, will return to Bend on Dec. 8 to play a holiday concert at Mountain View High School.

The show will benefit Bend’s community radio station, KPOV, which is looking for individuals and organizations in the community to sponsor the event. If you’re interested in more information on sponsorship opportunities, contact jill@kpov.org or 541-322-0863.

Fleck and the Flecktones are masters of modern improvisation, fusing bluegrass, jazz and other styles into their singular sound. In Bend, they’ll have the Tuvan throat-singing group Alash warm up the crowd. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show cost $33-$40 in advance for KPOV members, $35-$42 in advance for nonmembers, and $40-$47 at the door. Tickets will be available through KPOV closer to the show date.
