Event description

Join the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for an unforgettable evening of music and emotion with the "Controlled Burn" concert. This remarkable performance is scheduled for 15 March 2025, at 7:30 PM, taking place in the prestigious Jack Singer Concert Hall. As part of the Classics 3 series, this event promises to be a highlight of the season.

The concert will feature a soul-stirring rendition of Josef Suk’s Asrael Symphony, a profound memorial to both his mentor Dvořák and Dvořák’s daughter Otilie, Suk's wife. Adding to the evening's uniqueness, Cree artist Cris Derksen will captivate the audience with the Calgary premiere of her work. Inspired by traditional Indigenous practices of managing wildfires, Derksen's composition transforms the concept of fire from a threat to a tool, promising a performance filled with depth and innovation.

Under the baton of conductor Rune Bergmann, with Cris Derksen on cello, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra will bring these compositions to life, offering an evening of reflection, revival, and awe-inspiring music.

Tickets for adults range from $30 to $90, making this transformative musical experience accessible to all. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this unique event that not only showcases classical music but also bridges cultural narratives through the power of orchestration. Secure your tickets now and be part of a night that promises to revive your spirit and enrich your soul.
