Sound Atlas Festival - FULL ACCESS PASS

Three days, nine distinct sets, one unforgettable experience!

This year's Sound Atlas Festival presents REALMS OF INFLUENCE bringing together the best of contemporary classical music and leading artists, ensembles, and composers in our fourth annual new music festival. Don't miss a single note with this FULL ACCESS FESTIVAL PASS. An additional bonus - you will receive a one-year membership to Contemporary Calgary so you can engage with contemporary art all year long! 

Influence is a resonance— sometimes audible, sometimes ghostlike—passing between bodies, disciplines, and ideas. In these realms, sound is a coalescence of past and present affected by who listens, who remembers, and who responds.

This season’s Sound Atlas Festival gathers sound as a living geography—charted not by borders, but by forces that shape how music is imagined, made, and shared. We are thrilled to present season IV Realms of Influence, with our ears fixed on the currents that move through contemporary creation: lineage and rupture, place and displacement, technology and touch. Across three days, the festival becomes a meeting ground where composers, performers, and listeners step into overlapping worlds, each shaped by distinct gravitational pulls and soundscapes rooted in modern composition, sound design, and inspiring performances of chamber music.
