SUMMARY:Chisel Creek Classical
DESCRIPTION:Music and nature are deeply intertwined. Whether we realize it or not\, we encounter music daily\, from the songs of birds to the rhythmic hammering of rain on rooftops. Music evolves and changes like landscape and climate. It has peaks and valleys like our beautiful mountain range. Both music and nature possess the power to move us profoundly. \nFor centuries\, composers have drawn inspiration from nature. Ludwig van Beethoven\, for example\, took long walks in the countryside to clear his mind and find musical inspiration. Similarly\, Johannes Brahms\, a composer of the Romantic Period\, often sought refuge in his alpine lodge to compose some of history’s greatest music. \n \nChisel Creek Classical was created to reunite music with nature in an intimate\, familial setting. Nestled in West Bragg Creek\, this festival brings musicians together for a transformative two-week celebration of nature\, community\, and musical excellence. During this time\, artists immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings and timeless masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire. They delve into the depths of musical expression\, cultivating a profound understanding and appreciation for these extraordinary works. The beauty of Bragg Creek ignites a new level of inspiration\, enriching the musical experience and fostering a deep connection with nature and community. \nThis year we will feature two concerts this August. One on August 23rd and the other on the 30th. Join us on August 23rd at 17:30 for an array of chamber music from the High Renaissance & Baroque Period\, all the way to our modern day\, culminating in the world premiere of a string quartet by Calgary composer Samuel Kerr. This program offers both meditative and electrifying music which will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat with its dynamic rhythms and theatrical flair. Experience the thrill of witnessing new music come to life in the stunning setting of Chisel Creek Classical. \n\n\nOn August 30th we step into a world of late romantic masterworks by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Erich Korngold. These compositions are staples in the portfolio of each composer\, and will provide a rich\, soul-nourishing experience. \nBoth concerts offer an opportunity to witness the magic of chamber music in an intimate setting. Don’t miss these evenings of musical excellence in the beautiful surroundings of West Bragg Creek. Secure your tickets now for an unforgettable celebration of art\, community\, and the great outdoors. The artists this year include violinists Daniel Dastoor\, & Eunha Kim\, violists Shyler Macaggi & Tilman Sandvoss and cellists Lexie Krakowski\, and Sabina Sandvoss. \n\n\nPlease visit chiselcreekclassical.com for more details.

SUMMARY:Alma Narrows at The Venue in High River
DESCRIPTION:BC indie-folk band Alma Narrows performs at High River’s The Venue\nSaturday August 1st\, at 7pm\n125 5th Avenue SW\, High River\, Alberta\nFREE \nAnna and Regan Luth of Alma Narrows are no strangers to Alberta\, but it’s been many years since the couple has performed in their home province since moving to Vancouver in 2018. The duo has spent the last eight years pursuing music and performing across the province. Described as an alternative folk duo\, they create music that explores tender moments of love\, loss\, and the wonder hidden in everyday life. \nRegan hails from St. Albert and Anna spent her formative years in Okotoks\, attending the Alberta High School of Fine Arts and taking part in the Main Stage and Vocal Jazz programs. Although they said goodbye to the prairies\, the Alberta landscape regularly returns in their lyrics\, like their song Where Do We Go\, which expresses both the beauty and pain of change: better borrowed autumn air / sentimental longing stare / better winter follow close / forest light / the shadows. \nTheir timeless sound includes guitar\, violin\, and intimate harmonies weaving together the spirited twang of Americana with artful melancholy. Alma Narrows draws inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell\, Fleet Foxes\, Phoebe Bridgers and Feist. They balance raw lyrical introspection with just enough optimism to keep us hoping for the best in ourselves and each other. The band will perform their compelling\, vocally-rich music live at The Venue Summer Series in High River on Saturday August 1st\, at 7pm.
