Instrumental Society of Calgary

Since 1979, the Instrumental Society of Calgary has showcased the best local musicians in Calgary.

The Instrumental Society of Calgary strives to present chamber music in a way that honours the original core values of chamber music in a modern way, providing an environment that cultivates musical talent and shares it with the community. Our concert selection process is unique and interactive within the musical community. We work with professional musicians in the Calgary area to carefully creat

e a theme and concert programme for the upcoming season. In order to craft a collection of concert pieces from highly regarded musicians in the Calgary area, we work with these local performers, getting feedback and creating an experience for the audience that is unlike any other. Operating for 37 years, the Instrumental Society of Calgary continues to create an environment that is supportive of the amazing talent within the Calgary area and provide music-lovers from all walks of life with access to chamber music performances. Engaging the next generation of concert goers is essential in creating a life long appreciation of music. We also value the importance of emerging musicians who are starting out and strive to include pre-concert performances to showcase those local up-and-coming chamber musicians as well.
