Another great NW Calgary event is almost upon us as the 45^th annual Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival is set to get underway!

The Kiwanis Festival is one of North America’s largest amateur classical music festivals with over 10,000 musicians and speech arts performers participating in over 1,000 classes in 18 categories…and it takes place right here in our backyard at The Jubilee Auditorium and SAIT.

The festival begins on Monday, February 25 and winds up on Saturday, March 16 with the anticipated “Stars of the Festival” concert showcasing the cream of the crop from this year’s event.  The evening also features the presentation of the prestigious Rose Bowl which is awarded to the most outstanding performer of the entire festival.

It’s not very often that a legend in Canadian music comes to town.

It is even less likely to have two all star acts play on the same weekend, but that is exactly what is on tap at the Jubilee Auditorium as both Blue Rodeo and Nelly Furtado are set to take to the main stage..

Blue Rodeo will play two shows as part of their 25^th Anniversary Tour on Thursday, January 10 and Friday, January 11 and Nelly Furtado wraps up the weekend with a single engagement show for her Spirit Indestructible Tour on Saturday night.

There are still tickets available for both concerts but given the calibre of the performers, they are undoubtedly going very fast.

Neither act needs an introduction, especially one that would not do either of them justice in a short blog post, so for more information about the artists, tour information and more click on the links provided below.
