In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minirhpa" (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, District 4.

Over the slopes of the Rocky Mountains

Voices and colours ripple across lakes and through the forest, connecting the heart of art, music, and words.

ART IS THE ULTIMATE CONNECTOR.

A powerful image, a selection of music, the subtle movement of a body or a good book can connect us to the world around us with such depth and soul. In a too-often divided world, art can be a bridge, speaking to a community in a universal language, forging human connection, and creating unbreakable unity.

At Banff Centre, artists, leaders, and visitors are encouraged to engage with the world’s most vexing questions and to take a risk on something new. We strive to be an incubator where individuals can create connections, build mutual empathy, and explore pathways that both challenge and uplift one another.

In 2023, Banff Centre celebrated its 90th anniversary, the culmination of nine decades of investing in artists and leaders. Banff Centre was established at the height of the Great Depression in 1933 in response to the region’s desire to have more cultural experiences available to local families, many who had just immigrated to Canada from Europe.

Since then, Banff Centre has evolved to offer dozens of programs that have nurtured the careers of more than 115,000 artists and leaders.

Hundreds of thousands more have visited Banff Centre’s exceptional facilities to take in a performance or exhibition, attend a conference, enjoy fine dining, and experience globally renowned events like the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival and the Banff International String Quartet Competition.

As we begin the countdown to our 100th anniversary, we are committed to responding to the needs of the artists and leaders of today by ensuring that our training and programming continues to address the evolving opportunities and challenges that face our sector. It is Banff Centre’s goal to inspire individuals attending our programs to dream the culture forward, conceiving powerful ideas and devising impactful solutions that can make the world better for all of us.

The 2024 Banff Summer Arts Festival celebrates these themes of connection and creativity, bringing together artists who will build on the rich legacy of those who came before them. Our campus and facilities will come to life this summer with a full suite of events across genres and disciplines, giving you – our audience – the chance to experience the peaks and valleys of the human experience through artistic expression.

I am proud of the programs curated by our team of artistic directors –from intimate gatherings to full-scale productions to a rare peek behind the curtain into the artistic process. This range of activities ensures that the Summer Arts Festival has something for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you on the Banff Centre campus this Summer!

LOOKING BACK

Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival

A vibrant legacy of the arts

W ITH A RICH HISTORY THAT BEGAN IN 1933, Banff Centre has nurtured and provided artists with summer programming and the opportunity to showcase their talents to the Bow Valley community. In August 1950, the concept of holding an annual Festival Week was introduced, providing a dedicated focus to making the Theatre, Music, and Fine Arts programs accessible to a wider audience. In 1980, the Banff Festival of the Arts expanded to a series of events that spanned the summer months which continues to showcase dance, opera, music, talks by visual and literary artists, exhibitions, and so much more.

Let’s Connect!

AN INTEGRAL PART OF BANFF CENTRE’S PEDAGOGICAL MODEL

in our artistic programming is offering the opportunity for artists to showcase works-in-progress to an engaged audience. This is also a treasured chance for audiences to witness aspects of the artmaking process that are often hidden. Artists continue to remark that Banff Centre provides a soft place to experiment – a critical and often underappreciated part of their artistic creation process.

In a special way, audiences at Banff Centre become part of the creative process for many artists.

Audiences at Banff Centre regularly get to see, hear, feel, and touch the world premiere of an artistic work: innovative visual arts exhibitions, the first time a song is performed live, the fruits of a dance residency about to go on a world tour, a groundbreaking novel yet to be released.

In addition to events related to programmatic activities where audiences get to see “behind the scenes,” Banff Centre welcomes touring artists and performers as a sought-after venue for fully developed shows. Audiences can laugh with comedians, groove with musicians, be inspired by exhibits, enjoy a film, immerse in the words from a reading, and much more.

There are a number of venues on campus. You can be dazzled by presentations in Banff Centre’s state of the art Jenny Belzberg Theatre, get cozy in one of the more intimate theatre settings, or enjoy art in the great outdoors in the Amphitheatre.

Forging a connection between artists and audiences is foundational to Banff Centre’s programmatic mission and our commitment to the Bow Valley community and beyond.

We can’t wait to see you!

LOOKING BACK Music & Opera at Banff Centre

OVER NINE DECADES, MUSIC AND OPERA PROGRAMS AT BANFF CENTRE have spanned a range of genres from classical to contemporary. In the mid-1930s, Banff Centre introduced a course in musical composition, interpretation, and performance for piano. By 1949, it laid the foundation for future opera programs with its first opera-specific course.

Since then, Banff Centre has featured opera productions almost every season including recent collaborations that continue to re-imagine opera for the 21st century through innovative programs and performances.

The music program continued to evolve with Thomas Rolston joining the school faculty in 1965 leaving a legacy in music programming and performances, with chamber music at its core.

In 1967, the Eric Harvie Theatre was opened to support artist performances, production, and training. Over the following 30 years, the music program expanded to include year-round offerings of multidisciplinary residencies for classical musicians, singer-songwriters, composers, indie bands, and more!

Banff Centre’s music programs offer a nurturing environment for artistic experimentation and growth, providing participants invaluable opportunities to accelerate their careers, connect with fellow artists, and build their skills and confidence.

Inter play INTRODUCING

A fusion of opera & chamber music

INTERPLAY CELEBRATES THE CONVERGENCE OF OPERA AND CHAMBER MUSIC and offers a platform for vocalists, instrumentalists, and other creatives to collaborate on both new works and revered masterpieces.

Renowned leaders in opera and chamber music will combine forces to discover the dynamic synergy of these complementary artistic worlds and share this work through a series of public performances.

“This program is one of Banff Centre’s most ambitious, collaborative music and theatre projects in years.”

Amiel Gladstone, Director of Theatre Arts

The program will be centred around two Canadian operas: composer Daniel Schlosberg’s adaptation of Poul Ruders and Paul Bentley’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” after Margaret Atwood’s seminal work and Ian Cusson and Royce Vavrek’s “Indians on Vacation” based on the popular Thomas King novel. Artistic Director of Opera Joel Ivany selected these two works to give audiences a chance to experience how opera can take on contemporary ideas and stories.

As both works are still in the early stages of development, Interplay invites audiences to play a role in the creative process. In addition to two public workshop concert performances, the evenings will include post-show discussions, providing audiences a candid window into the making of new opera.

Audiences can also enjoy chamber music performances of classical and new works that showcase nuanced musical dialogues and a rich, blended sound.

Interplay promises to be an exhilarating celebration of collaboration – a unique platform for the evolution of both opera and chamber music. Witness the convergence of voices, instruments, and vision, a journey into the heart of creative exploration.

Interplay is supported by the David Spencer Emerging Vocalists Endowment and the Yolande Freeze Master Artists in Music Fund.

LOOKING BACK

Celebrating Five Decades of Literary Arts at Banff Centre 1974 –2024

“Banff Centre is a writer’s paradise – offering a safe and inspirational environment for literary artists to push boundaries and explore their full potential with the support of exceptional mentors and peers.”

Dr. Derek Beaulieu, Director of Literary Arts, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity

THIS YEAR BANFF CENTRE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF LITERARY ARTS PROGRAMMING.

Since its foundation, Literary Arts at Banff Centre has become a globally renowned creative catalyst for established and emerging writers.

Initiated in 1974 by W.O. Mitchell, Literary Arts programs at Banff Centre are known to push the boundaries of Canadian and international conventions and foster growth among alumni.

This 50th anniversary milestone represents an opportunity to look back on five decades of exceptional Canadian and international writing, and to look ahead with postsecondary educational programs that are responsive to the needs of artists of today and tomorrow.

Many of the country’s awardwinning writers have been residents or faculty at the Centre. Banff Centre alumni are consistently published nationally and internationally and recognized by literary awards – including the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Griffin Poetry Prize, the GovernorGeneral’s Award, the Lambda Literary Award, and more.

Banff Centre continues to widen its reach to new artists. We welcome audiences to witness the act of creation and experimentation in literature: to be surprised by the high-wire act of contemporary writing and to think “Wow, I didn’t know that writing could do that!”

Recent writing residencies have included science fiction and fantasy, young adult fiction, children’s books, graphic novels, and formbased writing. Literary programs have also explored computational writing, where authors use code, computer programming, and AI to imagine new ways of considering creativity and authorship.

Dialogue and collaboration upholds both individual artistic practices and writing as a communitydriven, communitarian act. It is an act of creative conversation, of inspired collaboration that reaches across demographics, languages, identities, nations, and histories.

Banff Centre creates educational opportunities for writers looking for new ways to write, new positions to take, and new perspectives on the world’s literature, responsive to the current needs of literary artists to work in an evolving field.

With the support from a vibrant writing community, Banff Centre encourages artists to take risks, learn and share, and participate in a broader, deeper artistic conversation.

Dawn Chorus, Evensong (Bow River Valley)

AUGUST 9 – SEPTEMBER 2

SHAW AMPHITHEATRE

8 AM AND 8 PM DAILY

Walter Phillips Gallery is thrilled to announce Dawn Chorus, Evensong (Bow River Valley), a newly commissioned audio-based work with accompanying visual scores by Canadian artist Lou Sheppard to be presented this summer in Banff Centre’s Shaw Amphitheatre. This seven-channel audio installation will be activated twice daily for one hour and is a continuation of a previous body of work commissioned for the 2019 edition of the Toronto Biennial of Art. Informed by the concept of the biophony, or sounds made by organisms within a given ecosystem, Dawn Chorus, Evensong (Bow River Valley) seeks to amplify and respond to the chorus of creatures audible on Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain at dawn and at dusk, times of increased activity in the forest.

The activation of the work also takes place at what might be understood as queer times of day, when visibility is lessened and ramifications of normative conceptions of gender perhaps less pervasive. Dawn Chorus, Evensong (Bow River Valley) is suggestive of the power of collective sounding as present within a biophony, where the pitches of a creature’s calls can allow them to be heard or concealed. The work’s installation in the man-made structure of the Amphitheatre as well as within the natural acoustic bowl created by the mountains makes use of these overlapping architectures for listening, amplification and transmission.

Please note Walter Phillips Gallery is closed for renovations from Summer 2024.

“This summer, Walter Phillips Gallery presents sound and scorebased works that will unfold in public spaces on campus, inviting reflection on our location.”

William Shakespeare’s As You Like It

The title of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It holds a double meaning that teasingly suggests this is a play to please all tastes. Is it possible? With his subversive updating of the Bard’s classic, cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal seeks to find out. The show exults in bawdy humour, difficult subject matter, and raw emotion. Cast will be announced at each performance.

LOOKING BACK

Theatre at Banff Centre Jazz at Banff Centre

IN 1972 A CHANCE MEETING IN TORONTO INITIATED MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF JAZZ AT BANFF CENTRE. Then Banff Centre president David Leighton invited legendary Canadian jazz musicians Oscar Peterson and Phil Nimmons to create the summer Jazz Workshop in 1974 which laid the foundation for jazz training and performances in Banff. The first Jazz Orchestra Workshop and the first Vocal Jazz Workshops followed in the 1990s. The annual summer workshops have evolved from a daring, allCanadian experiment in jazz education to internationally acclaimed programs at the leading edge of developments in jazz, including the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music which began in the early 2000’s. Over the decades jazz programs at Banff Centre continue to support improvising jazz musicians and composers, with alumni having achieved prominence in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Jazz at Banff Centre is supported by the Bruce McKinnon Memorial Endowment.

BANFF CENTRE WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA AS THE BANFF SCHOOL OF DRAMA.

In the first two-week program, 190 students gathered in Banff in the old Brewster Auditorium on Banff Avenue. Playwriting was introduced into the Theatre Arts program in 1937.

In 1967, a new theatre at Banff Centre was unveiled, to support artist performances, production, and training. Banff Centre has helped shape some of the country’s most acclaimed performing arts productions. Following a major revitalization of the former Eric Harvie Theatre in 2022, audiences can now witness the creation of new works in the Jenny Belzberg Theatre, a state-of-the-art space to support the production and presentation of artistic work for decades to come.

Theatre at Banff Centre is supported by the Maclab Enterprises Endowment Fund and The Slaight Family Foundation.

Gather Listen Hear offers space for artistic dialogue and an exchange of methodologies between the faculty, participants, and artists while all reflecting on how we are in connection to the land around us.”

Janine Windolph, Director of Indigenous Arts

Gather Listen Hear is a multi-day, interdisciplinary event centred on the relationship between sound and land. Coinciding with this summer’s Classical Indigenous Music Residency and the Jazz and Sonic Arts Residency, the event will include faculty and participant concerts taking place in both programs as well as a joint performance by the two participant cohorts. Sound and score-based works that are in dialogue with this location will be presented by Walter Phillips Gallery alongside participatory events.

Artistic Directors Megumi Masaki (Music) and Janine Windolph (Indigenous Arts), and Jacqueline Bell (Curator, Walter Philips Gallery) have come together to develop this interdisciplinary program. Banff Centre is inviting you to witness and take part in the culmination of this exciting collaboration.

More information on the full schedule will be available in June 2024. Please use the QR code to access the full suite of programming as it evolves.

“Banff is synonymous with outstanding chamber music! Join us, as we welcome James Ehnes and the Ehnes Quartet along with over two dozen other musicians, including BISQC winners the Viano and Isidore Quartets, for a packed weekend of music and community at BISQFest.”

Barry Shiffman, Artistic Director, Banff International String Quartet Competition and Festival

LOOKING BACK

BISQC & BISQFest at Banff Centre

THE BANFF INTERNATIONAL STRING QUARTET COMPETITION (BISQC) is the largest event of its kind in the world. Since its beginning in 1983 as a special event to mark the 50th anniversary of Banff Centre, this triennial event has grown dramatically and now includes an industry-leading career development program that brings extraordinary opportunities for professional and artistic growth to the laureates. Past winners include many of the major names on the stage today including such celebrated names as the Miro, St. Lawrence, and Dover Quartets.

The Banff International String Quartet Festival (BISQFest) grew out of the success of the competition, welcoming a passionate music-loving audience for a series of concerts and events by laureates from past competitions and other celebrated artists from Canada and abroad.

Barry Shiffman, Banff Centre alumnus and BISQC winner with the St. Lawrence Quartet in 1992, has directed the competition since 2006 and the festival since its creation in 2017.

Board of Governors of The Banff Centre (operating as Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity) is a corporation that operates under the Post-Secondary Learning Act in Alberta. Banff Centre is also a registered charity (registration # 11921 4955 RR0001), and under section 149 of the Income Tax Act in Canada is exempt from income tax.

Banff Centre is supported by funding from the Government of Alberta through Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education, Alberta Infrastructure, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Arts programs are supported by funding from the Government of Canada through the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Canada Arts Training Fund. The experience at Banff Centre is also enriched through generous support from individuals, corporations, and foundations.

This residency at the Banff Centre has inspired my work in many ways. The one probably most obvious way is the time that it’s allowed, and I think most artists don’t have that kind of time. I’m a mom of three. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for ten years now, and to have three weeks to practice, even if nothing comes easily – like a song isn’t written from start to finish.

But to practice and exercise and start flexing the muscle of songwriting on a daily basis for as many hours as I like, that’s really precious. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen again.
