This kind of festival doesn't happen without sponsors. A special thanks to our sponsors.
The Musical Vision
We envision a festival of musical encounters, highlighting and blending Classical, Latin, Folk and Jazz genres. The artists will cross the conventional boundaries that usually divide music into genres or traditions. The audience, from Bragg Creek, Calgary and beyond, will experience distinctive, appealing and exciting examples of what happens when skilled performers move into each other’s musical “space”.
What's Different at the Bragg Creek Music Festival?
- It's Indoors
The weather in the Foothills in late May could range from cold and snowing to warm and dry. May is often quite wet. The main hall at Bragg Creek Centre is dry and have both heating and air conditioning providing a comfortable environment for the audience to enjoy the entertainment. - Smaller Audience
Bragg Creek Centre's auditorium only holds about 500 people so compared to festivals that entertain several thousand people, you'll be closer to the stage and be able to see the performers better. - Sound and Light
Bragg Creek Centre's sound system is matched to the hall acoustics providing better sound than is available outdoors. All performances are lit to enhance the entertainment experience. - Musical Diversity
We plan to have performers with various musical styles, including classical, and have them cross their conventional boundaries, into other performer's spaces. In addition, the performers will also provide sets from their own repertoires.
