From the intercultural spirit of Soundweavings to the virtuosic heights of Art of Piano, this season celebrates music in all its forms.

Interplay
Interplay celebrates the convergence of opera and chamber music. This summer, singers, instrumentalists, composers, conductors, directors, and designers will collaborate on a series of chamber music concerts, workshop presentations of new operas in development, and the premiere of a new arrangement of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Interplay is a unique collaboration between Banff Centre's Opera and Music departments, combining to bring these two forms to new heights in performance.
