Singers from her coaching studio perform with major opera companies and symphony orchestras around the world.

In January 2017 she partners baritone Phillip Addis in recital at the Canadian Opera Company. Other performances include recitals for the Queensland Music Festival (Australia), Calgary Opera, Festival Orford, Stratford Summer Music, and many other venues in Canada, the USA, and Europe. In 2011 she was awarded the Best Collaborative ​ Pianist Prize at the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition and accompanied thirteen ​ performances across Canada on the National Winner's Tour.

Engaged as a répétiteur and official audition accompanist by Calgary Opera, l'Opéra de Montréal, Opera Atelier and Pacific Opera Victoria, Ms. Hamper was production director for a performance based on Manon at the Muskoka Opera Festival in 2013. Her genuine interest in ​ ​ new music has resulted in engagements with Soundstreams Canada and Tapestry Opera, the workshopping of a new opera with Manitoba Opera, and the commission of a cycle of four songs by composer Erik Ross and poet Zachariah Wells.

  • 2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners
    2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners Students explore the East Village model at the East Village Experience Centre In partnership with: “I feel more connected to my city and more in the know. I definitely get the process a lot more as well as how the people within the government work and their effect on local citizens.” ~ Grade 5 student Students find hidden murals in Chinatown Exploring the city This year at City Hall School, students have explored downtown from St. Patrick’s Island on the east side to the Beltline murals on the west side. They have investigated community while looking at “Bridge” by Katie Green. Students visualized in the +15 Soundscape at Arts Commons. They have observed old buildings on Stephen Avenue, building construction of Platform Calgary, and how people used the upgraded underpasses. Each class came to City Hall School with a big idea that could be questions or thoughtful quotes. Two years ago, Journalling in the new Central Library there was a focus on public art and last year, classes were interested in sustainability and the natural world. This year, the main themes were being an active and responsible citizen as well as how to think in an innovative way. This year ended with an unexpected change. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed in the middle of March. This led to many classes missing their chance to come to City Hall School. Fortunately, these classes are able to come during the 2020-2021 school year. How does City Hall School work? City Hall School is a five-day field study that is jointly run by The City of Calgary’s Calgary Neighbourhoods business unit and Campus Calgary/Open Minds.

  • A Tapestry of Peoples
    HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL TEACHING RESOURCE FOR THE PROMISE OF CANADA, BY CHARLOTTE GRAY Author’s Note Greetings, educators! While I was in my twenties I spent a year teaching in a high school in England; it was the hardest job I’ve ever done. So first, I want to thank you for doing one of the most important and challenging jobs in our society. And I particularly want to thank you for introducing your students to Canadian history, as they embark on their own futures, because it will help them understand how our past is what makes this country unique. When I sat down to write The Promise of Canada, I knew I wanted to engage my readers in the personalities and dramas of the past 150 years. Most of us find it much easier to learn about ideas and values through the stories of the individuals that promoted them. Most of us enjoy history more if we are given the tools to understand what it was like back then—back when women didn’t have the vote, or back when Indigenous children were dragged off to residential schools, or back when Quebecers felt so excluded that some of them wanted their own independent country. I wanted my readers to feel the texture of history—the sounds, sights and smells of our predecessors’ lives. If your students have looked at my book, I hope they will begin to understand how the past is not dead: it has shaped the Canada we live in today. I hope they will be excited to meet vivid personalities who, in their own day, contributed to a country that has never stopped evolving.

  • Heritage Park Annual Report 2018 Message from the President & Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Park and the Chair of the Heritage Park Society
    HERITAGE PARK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF HERITAGE PARK AND THE CHAIR OF THE HERITAGE PARK SOCIETY PHOTO: Leah Hennel – Calgary Herald was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” This quote from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities befits 2018 at Heritage Park. We accomplished “It great things, but faced many challenges. The worst of times? The ever-escalating cost of operations due to the minimum wage increase. Continued road construction outside our gates that created a barrier to entry for our guests. And the worst of the worst — flood mitigation work on the Glenmore Reservoir undertaken by the City resulted in the Moyie being dry-docked for the entire summer for the first time since it set sail in 1965. The result was a 22% drop in summer attendance, and the first deficit in more than fifty years. Even with these challenges, the Park educated and entertained its guests and provided meaningful employment and volunteer opportunities to hundreds of Calgarians. We will continue efforts to control costs without sacrificing quality content as we adapt to new operating realities. We held a joint board-management strategy session to explore ideas to attract and retain guests in the years ahead. We focused on ever-changing market expectations, education programming options, marketing opportunities, and the shifting demographics of our community. We are optimistic that continued adaptation and implementation will create winning results and foster relationships with guests who will become repeat visitors. The best of times? School program attendance grew. Our marketing excellence was rewarded with an Alto Award for Journey of a Lifetime.

  • The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics
    SPP Research Papers Volume 4•Issue 6• May 2011 IS THIS THE END OF THE TORY DYNASTY? The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics Anthony M. Sayers and David K. Stewart1 University of Calgary ABSTRACT The Alberta Tory dynasty begun by Peter Lougheed is now 40 years old. With only four leaders across four decades, the party has managed to maintain its hold on the political imagination of Albertans. It has weathered a number of storms, from minor party assaults during the tumultuous 1980s to the Liberal threat of 1993 and the stresses associated with the global financial crisis. Now it confronts a new challenge in the form of the Wildrose Alliance led by Danielle Smith. Just as the Tories stole the centre ground from beneath Social Credit in the 1970s, the Wildrose leadership team hopes to take what was a fringe right wing party and turn it into a broad coalition capable of appealing to a large number of Albertans. What challenges do they face in repositioning the party? And how will the Tories protect their home turf? In brief, the Wildrose Alliance must modify its policies and present them in such a manner as to be able to plausibly claim that it now reflects the core values of Albertans better than the current government. For its part, the government must select a new leader capable of successfully painting Wildrose as outsiders who cannot be trusted to cleave to the values that Albertans hold dear. What are these values? Strong support for individualism, a populist view of government – including wariness of the federal government – combined with a deep commitment to a role for government in providing core programs in areas such as health care, the environment, and social welfare.
