Dear Friends, With wondrous anticipation we invite you to join us for Sonic Playground, Sound Atlas New Music Festival’s third annual Summer festival. A musical expedition for adventurous listeners, composers, and artists, Sonic Playground revels in a state of play where whimsy meets the unexpected in a veritable feast for curious ears and imagination!
Sonic Playground brings the best of contemporary art music to Calgary in June 2025 taking place at Calgary’s home for modern and contemporary art, Contemporary Calgary. This year we are delighted to feature the spirited genius of our featured Korean-American composer Juri Seo, a “modern original” whose music has been praised for its extraordinary charm and inventiveness. While we can’t reveal the all-star lineup of composers and festival artists just yet, you can expect a wondrous and eclectic experience in music and sound, featuring performances from Sound Atlas Festival’s host ensemble Latitude 49, local Calgary performers, and guests from across North America and beyond in a joyful explosion of friendship and creativity.We invite you to join our mailing list and be the first to receive important updates and announcements, explore, and come play with us this year in our Sonic Playground! Artistic Directors:Jani Parsons and Chris Sies
