Many changes have occurred, both with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and with the Virtuoso Programme. The Orchestra is now under the experienced leadership of President & CEO, Paul Dornian, and we look forward to his plans for the future. The Virtuoso Programme has also expanded its reach by entering into collaboration with Mount Royal University Conservatory, whereby some of the artists we bring to Calgary will also teach Masterclasses to students at the institution, thereby enhancing their lives and the benefits we, and Calgary, get from Virtuoso artists. As we move forward, we will look to further expose the students of Mount Royal University Conservatory to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra’s programs.

Commons Providing access to this hope is our motivation. This year, despite our collective struggle, we continued to create accessible opportunities for our community by hosting free public events and providing complimentary tickets to those who would otherwise be unable to attend. We distributed over 2,200 free show tickets through the TD Arts Access Pass, with nearly 900 of those allocated to families and children. We also welcomed over 8,000 students to the Jack Singer Concert Hall for National Geographic Live, with 6,656 of those attending for free through the EXPLORE National Geographic program. In these ways, we endeavour to bring the arts to every life, and remain grateful for the ongoing support of our patrons, donors, and sponsors.
