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.
