Celebrating their 15th year as “a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity” (BBC Music Magazine), the Akropolis Reed Quintet has “taken the chamber music world by storm” (Fanfare). The untamed band of 5 reed players delivers 120 concerts and educational events each year and has premiered over 130 works.

“Pure gold, shot through with tenderness and grace.”

— San Francisco Chronicle

The Pavel Haas Quartet is revered across the globe for its richness of timbre, infectious passion and intuitive rapport. They were included in BBC Music Magazine‘s 10 greatest string quartet ensembles of all time and were described as “stylistically powerful and richly sonorous, [and] known for its passionate and fearless performances.”

“The Pavel Haas Quartet is one of the truly outstanding ensembles of our time.”

— Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich

Late Night with Leonard Bernstein is an affectionate portrait of the personal side of one of the 20th century’s most charismatic and public figures. Hosted by his daughter Jamie and featuring three stellar performers – soprano Amy Burton and pianists John Musto and Michael Boriskin – this acclaimed “multi-media cabaret” celebrates Bernstein’s non-stop creativity and the entertaining he did at all hours at home.

First rate fare … the audience filled the room with lusty laughs and applause.

Hailed as “an important force in the chamber music arena” with a “dream-team line-up” (Strings), the Ehnes Quartet is comprised of four internationally renowned string musicians: violinists James Ehnes and Amy Schwartz Moretti, violist Che-Yen Chen and cellist Edward Arron. Formally established in 2010 at the Seattle Chamber Music Society, where they maintain a yearly residency, the members of the Ehnes Quartet have played chamber music together in various formations for more than 20 years.

Celebrated Canadian violinist James Ehnes brings his famed string quartet to Calgary.

What happens when a turkey from the sticks meets a Park Avenue pigeon? With the feel of an old-time radio show, Tough Turkey in the Big City follows the comic blunders of Tom Turkey, who leaves the farm to try his luck in the big city. With music by Bruce Adolphe, the story is brought to life by some of Calgary’s finest musicians and the puppet wizardry of Green Fools Theatre Company. 

Recommended for children aged 5 to 12 but created with the entire family in mind.

The Young Artists Development Program is intended to discover, nurture and promote young Calgary musicians. The resources of Calgary Pro Musica allow us to offer unique opportunities for emerging musicians in Calgary. Participants in the Program receive exclusive instruction from the prestigious CPM visiting artists, prepare and perform a series of school concerts, receive career development instruction and scholarship support. Many of our alumni are already enjoying successful music careers of their own.

Come hear Calgary’s finest young talent showcased in this special event concert.
