About New Works Calgary:
Through its concert series, New Works Calgary supports the creation and performance of contemporary concert music and brings together a confluence of creative energies from composers, musicians, and adventurous listeners. The matinee will include music from new Co-Artistic Directors of New Works Calgary, composers Rebecca Bruton and Lesley Hinger. As experimental art music sound-makers, Bruton embraces a surrealistic folk music influence, and Hinger leans toward transformational forms and processes in sound and gesture, while they share a love for the delicate and the simple.

Also featured are the incredible talents of Lorna Tsai, John Lowry, Kathleen De Caen, Jesse Morrison, Wayne Garrett, and Rebecca Bruton on voice and guitar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the seating like?
We are selling a limited number of seats for the King Eddy Classical series to ensure a comfortable experience for all attendees. However, seating is first-come, first-served, so we encourage ticketholders to come early to settle in and enjoy the brunch experience. Doors open at 11 am and the show starts at 12 pm.

How long is the show?
At minimum, each show will be 60 minutes long. End times may vary depending on the artist.

What if I don't like the food choices?
The special set brunch menu has been curated exclusively for the Classical series to showcase the King Eddy's delicious offerings! If you have dietary concerns with the three available brunch options, please email info@kingeddy.ca with your dietary restrictions so we can accommodate you with a customized option.

What's with the gratuity?
A gratuity of 20% is charged only on the Food & Beverage portion of the ticket price. We believe in being transparent about these costs, rather than including them in the total price of the ticket. We are confident that the quality of the live music, service, and food and beverage offerings will create a one-of-a-kind experience for each guest.

What is parking like?
There is free street parking available around the East Village neighborhood on Sundays. There is also a paid Indigo parking lot across from the restaurant.

I'm having ticket issues.
