Founded in 2023 by soprano Kathleen Morrison with the vision of bringing 'opera to the people' in her hometown of Calgary, Alberta Vocal Arts Association is dedicated to promoting and celebrating classical vocal arts in Alberta.

 

Our mission is to inspire and engage audiences through captivating performances, collaborative initiatives, and active community engagement, showcasing the talent and artistry of vocal performers. We emphasize demystifying opera and making it accessible to all, often collaborating with other genres and groups to create a rich and diverse cultural tapestry.

 

As advocates for classical vocal arts in Calgary, we provide opportunities for mid-level artists and enrich our community's cultural vitality. Following our inaugural season, which featured a concert performance, a liederabend, and a fully staged production of Strauss' Die Fledermaus, we remain committed to deepening appreciation for the classical vocal arts.
