Venue
Jack Singer Concert Hall
Werklund Centre, formerly Arts Commons, 205 8 Ave SE, Calgary, AB
Calgary Philharmonic and One Yellow Rabbit co-present It Takes Two: A Symphonic Collaboration
Warm up your January with a symphonic escape and join the Calgary Phil, led by conductor Fawzi Haimor as they bring the heat with bold rhythms, sweeping drama and a dash of Parisian charm in this wide-ranging evening.
The Calgary Youth Orchestra joins the Phil in a side-by-side performance of Valerie Coleman’s powerful call for unity in a divided world with Umoja: Anthem of Unity, and Canadian cellist, Luka Coetzee takes centre stage in Prokofiev’s fiery Sinfonia concertante.
Not hot enough? Feel the heat as Alberto Ginastera’s high-octane Argentine dances light the fuse followed by a wistful wander through Parisian streets with George Gershwin’s An American in Paris.
A vibrant, wide-ranging night of music and one unforgettable ride.
Satisfy your wanderlust without leaving your seat.
