  • OPPORTUNITY PROFILE President &
    OPPORTUNITY PROFILE President & CEO [email protected] . Office 403.242.9000 prospectorsearch.com THE ORGANIZATION – CALGARY PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra is a cornerstone of Calgary’s vibrant arts community. Since its founding in 1955, it has grown to become one of Canada’s preeminent live music ensembles. Calgary Philharmonic’s home for live performance is Arts Commons’ acoustically suberb Jack Singer Concert Hall. The Orchestra has 66 fulltime members, and a wonderful 120-voice Philharmonic Chorus. Over a 40-week season, Calgary Phil presents classical masterworks, pop favourites, bold collaborations, and cutting-edge new works, and attracts world-renowned guest artists and dynamic conductors. The Orchestra welcomes over 100,000 listeners annually, and brings music to more than 20,000 Albertans through education and community programs. It also performs with Calgary Opera and Alberta Ballet, and collaborates in the finals of the triennial Honens International Piano Competition. At the start of the 2017/2018 Season, the Orchestra welcomed Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann as Music Director. Maestro Bergmann entered this role with a prominent vision to showcase the Calgary Philharmonic on the world stage. In 2017, Calgary Phil launched its live-stream initiative — an immersive, digital concert experience for audiences around the world. Fortuitously, this early embrace of digital technology positioned the Orchestra to pivot quickly during the pandemic lockdown and continue to reach audiences with new modes of programming. Past Music Directors of the Calgary Philharmonic include Grammy and Emmy Award-winning conductor Roberto Minczuk from 2006 to 2016; and the late Mario Bernardi, who guided the Orchestra from 1984 to 1992 through a period of tremendous artistic growth, including recordings and its first North American tour.

  • Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 Public Engagement
    Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement March 13, 2019 calgary.ca | contact 311 03 Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement About this what we heard report This report summarizes the activities and results of engagement for the Centre City Plan Refresh project. It outlines the project, the purpose of the public engagement, the activities we did, and a summary of what we heard at the events. A full list of comments received through public engagement is included in this report. This report does not outline what has happened as a result of the public engagement. That summary will be published at a later date, once all engagement has been completed and project plans have been finalized. Project overview In 2007, based on extensive citizen input, City Council adopted the Centre City Plan, a vision document that describes what the Centre City could look like in 30 years. The Centre City Plan is a coordinated strategy document that pulls together the vision for the Centre City along with strategies and actions relating to land use planning, economic, cultural, and social development, and governance. With the approval of the adoption of the Centre City Plan (CPC2007-049), it included a recommendation for regular monitoring and reporting. In January 2017 the Centre City Plan was identified as one of 28 Council policies to be amended. It’s time to review and refresh the original Centre City Plan. Calgary’s Centre City is the area south of the Bow River (including Prince’s Island Park) from 17th Avenue Southwest and 14th Street Southwest, to the Elbow River.
