WelcomeEvery summer, The Banff Centre welcomes hundreds of artists from around the world to participate in programs designed by our artistic team and world-class guest artists. These programs provide extraordinary opportunities for the artists and for you, our audience, to see and enjoy the work they create here. We have exciting new programs and performances in dance, opera, and music on offer this summer including a couple of artistic surprises for your viewing pleasure!

This summer’s Shaw Amphitheatre series comes, of course, with extraordinary views of the Bow Valley and a rich landscape of Canadian music including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Randy Bachman, and A Tribe Called Red. Over the Canada Day long weekend, Brass legends Jens Lindemann, Emilie-Claire Barlow, and Tommy Banks present everything from Broadway, big band hits to intimate jazz nights.

Ground-breaking opera returns with a Mozart murder mystery in partnership with Against the Grain Theatre, providing an immersive and mysterious experience for lucky audience members in No One’s Safe. Benjamin Britten’s operatic masterpiece, The Rape of Lucretia, will also be hauntingly re-told with a chamber orchestra. Meanwhile, across campus in Walter Phillips Gallery, Israeli artist Yael Bartana’s acclaimed cinematic work Inferno will be exhibited in Canada for the first time.

We delve into exciting new territory with showings of a work in progress by the exceptionally talented choreographer Fernando Melo, working with artists from a brand new Creative Gesture contemporary dance program. And the drama of the glorious, internationally-renowned Banff International String Quartet Competition returns this year. Among the extraordinary performances of classical and contemporary work, you will hear the premiere of a brand new commission from Zosha Di Castri and a hip-hop, classical mixup from the Afiara String Quartet and DJ Skratch Bastid.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Banff Centre on Sleeping Buffalo Mountain in Treaty 7 Territory, home of the Blackfoot, Stoney Nakoda and Tsuut’iina Nations. I hope to see you soon!
