Our final concert of the season was supposed to be taking place today. We're crushed that we aren't able to share our music with you now, but stay tuned for an announcement about next season in the coming days!

[Alberta Winds @AlbertaWinds]

In light of the current event restrictions, we have cancelled our May 3 concert.

@AlbertaWinds survives on tickets and donations. Right now, ATB Cares will match donations made by 50%. Please consider supporting us in our 20-21 season! Thank you!

We can't wait to see you tomorrow evening at Pushing Boundaries at Christ Church Calgary!

We'll be performing 'flat out, covering ground' by JUNO Award-winning composer Allan Gordon Bell, a whirlwind piece with the energy of an animal running for joy!

Gregorian chant is one of the earliest forms of notated music, using flowing rhythms and melodies to create an aura of voices echoing in the monastery. We're excited to perform Michael Colgrass' 'Old Churches' this Sunday in the beautiful Christ Church! #yyc #yycmusic #yycarts

@AlbertaWinds is excited to perform David Gillingham's Apocalyptic Dreams this Sunday @ 7pm in Christ Church!

Unravelling the mysteries of the Book of Revelation through music, Apocalyptic Dreams is a "fascinating approach with a celebratory ending."
