The Banff Centre launches its fall music season with a week of concerts

the world. With 40 international musicians in Banff for the Fall residency,
the program for the kick-off week will feature repertoire by Prokofiev,
Beethoven, Ravel, Hindemith, Berio, and more.
The week begins September 28 with Music at Noon in the Centre’s Rolston
Recital Hall, includes a Concert Night Out on Thursday, September 29, and
the annual Taste of the Series kick-off concert on Friday September 30,
including a post-concert reception and wine tasting, and wraps up with the
weekly Canmore Sunday afternoon concert at the Canmore Seniors Centre
October 2.
The Series continues through December 9, including the weekly Concert Night
Out events, Wine & Concert Chats, Canmore Sundays, Casual Afternoon
Concerts, and Music at Noon. Programs range from soloists to small and
impromptu ensembles, and works by a full range of composers, from classical
to modern. Resident musicians will be joined throughout the season by
visiting artists, this year including pianist Richard Raymond on October 14,
cellist Winona Zelenka on October 28, pianist Frederic Chiu on November 18,
violinist/violist Scott St. John on November 25, flautist Lorna McGhee on

On Tuesday, November 15, members of the National Arts Centre Orchestra will
present a chamber concert in the Rolston Recital Hall with a program of
works from 1914 to the present.
Music enthusiasts will also be able to take advantage of the Centre’s
popular Concert Lover Card again this year – for $50 per person, the card
allows for free admission to all Music & Sound concerts in both the Fall and
Winter Series, which add up to dozens of concerts through March 24. For more
