You may or may not have heard of Calgary Civic Symphony. They have been part of Calgary’s cultural scene for over 40 years, and delight in the humble, beautiful concerts that they present. Fuelled by a passion for music and the strength of their volunteers (who contribute over 21 000 hours a year), they operate on a skeleton staff including only three part-time employees. With this, they bring five full-scale orchestral performances to the Jack Singer Concert Hall stage each season.
Sixty-six members strong, employing musicians from all over Canada and the world, Calgary Philharmonic has filled the Jack Singer Concert Hall with powerful music for over 37 years and been a member of Calgary’s vibrant arts community for 65 years. Like all performing arts organizations in Calgary, they were forced to close their doors when the pandemic hit, but these past couple months they’ve been anything but idle. With the start of the 2020-21 season, they’re announcing a new fall series of free online concerts.
It’s that time again! The time of year when the YYC Music Awards announce the list of talented Calgary musicians nominated to be recognized as the best in their genre. Only this year, things are going to look a little bit different. You can tune in online to discover new Calgary talent and add it to your personal playlist!
