Unforgettable: A Tribute Concert

New West Music & Arts Society presents Unforgettable: A tribute concert celebrating the Songs and Artists that changed the trajectory of modern music. Concert guests will enjoy unique renditions of music that span a number of genres, performed by Calgary’s own New West Symphony & Chorus and New West Student Ensemble. This tribute show will feature truly “Unforgettable” music by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Queen and Taylor Swift. Who else made the list? Grab your tickets and find out!

By the way, if you think choral music is a bit ‘hum-drum’, think again! This review of New West’s spring concert from last year definitely challenges that mind-set:

“My partner and I were invited to this show by one of your members; we said ‘yes,’ but we were prepared for an evening of uptight, mediocre “church choir” style music. Wow, were we wrong! It was anything but! Every single song was top-notch, professional, and engaging… even their costumes and props were second to none. We’ll be back, New West… again and again and again!”

The 100 musician-strong New West Symphony & Chorus is directed by Henric Ideström and Jerry Proppe. Founded in February 2010, this community-based choir and orchestra typically performs an average of fifteen full-length concerts per season at various venues in and around Calgary.

New West Student Ensemble is a youth choir and orchestra for students in Grades 7 through 12. This energetic and dynamic group of over forty young people is under the direction of David Klob and Elisa Riegel.

Adult tickets to Unforgettable range in price from $35 to $40, and this year New West is offering discounted tickets for youth 17 years and under. Unforgettable marks the first time New West will perform their annual spring concert at the stunning Jack Singer Concert Hall.
