Sound Atlas Festival: Realms of Influence

As Calgary‘s premier contemporary classical music event, Sound Atlas Festival is proud to present its fourth season, Realms of Influence. This year, we gather sound as a living geography—charted not by borders, but by forces that shape how music is imagined, made, and shared. Across three days, the festival becomes a meeting ground where composers, performers, and listeners step into overlapping worlds, each shaped by distinct gravitational pulls and soundscapes rooted in modern composition, sound design, and inspiring performances of chamber music.

Featured Artists: Kevin Day (2026 featured composer), Holly Roadfeldt, NUM, Kensington Sinfonia, Timothy Steeves, Rod Thomas Squance & Zaheer-Abbas Janmohamed, Contemporary Performance Lab fellows, and host ensemble Latitude 49.
