Music

Get ready to venture beyond the ordinary as Pro Coro Canada and our emerging artists in #connect take you on a journey down the rabbit hole with a performance of cutting-edge choral music. This daring and innovative concert invites you to experience new sounds, stories, and perspectives as we celebrate the end of another remarkable choral season.

The program will feature Furiouser and Spuriouser, a thought-provoking work by Canadian composer Jason Noble. This composition tackles the pressing issues of our digital age, delving into the dangers and complexities of social media with a bold and evocative musical narrative. The choir will also perform The Stolen Child by Eric Whitacre, with its imaginative and hauntingly beautiful soundscape.

This concert is an invitation to step outside the box and embrace the unexpected. With its mix of contemporary compositions and emerging talent, the evening promises to be a vibrant and unforgettable exploration of modern choral music. Come with open ears and an open mind, and join us in celebrating the creativity and innovation that defines Pro Coro Canada’s unique approach to choral performance.

Venue: Westbury Theatre, Fringe Theatre Arts Barns, T6E 2G9 and ProCoroTV

About ChamberFest West

ChamberFest West (CFW) is building its board of directors to ensure continuation of the success achieved over the first three years of operation. CFW presents an intensive summer chamber music festival in Calgary, Alberta, that features internationally renowned musicians, explores unique and immersive thematic programming, and creates original, engaging musical experiences for its audiences. CFW is also in its first year of presenting a “shoulder season”, bringing the exciting music heard during the summer festival to audiences in Calgary and other Alberta locations, in the spring and fall. 

About the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors contributes significantly to the organization’s strategy and governance and provides specific expertise to support our Artistic Directors and General Manager. During our first three years of operation, the Board met monthly, either virtually or in person, to advance ChamberFest West’s mission and goals and to oversee the development of the festival and other programming. As we have become more established, the Board intends to increase staff and move away from operational work necessarily performed over the first three years.  The Board will continue to provide governance and make strategic decisions along with staff.  This will allow for a move to quarterly meetings.  

In addition to Board meetings, board members chair and/or participate in various committees and do all they can to promote and support the organization’s events and projects. 

The Opportunity

ChamberFest West is looking for individuals with an interest in the arts and the skills necessary to ensure the CFW Board is equipped to govern the organization, as well as to make connections in the community to help expand both audience numbers and fundraising capability.  The term of office is three years, with the possibility for additional terms.  

General expertise with not-for-profit boards is desired.  Knowledge of and/or an appreciation for music is an asset.  Candidates with specific skills and experience in the areas of law, finance, fundraising or marketing will be given priority.
