23-25 October 2026, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
The Rocky Mountain Choral Leadership Gathering brings together choral practitioners from across Alberta and beyond in three streams: conductors and teachers, composers, and offstage leaders (the administrators, organizers, and visionaries who support choirs from behind the scenes). This year’s faculty includes Dr. Elroy Friesen, Dr. Tracy Wong, Steven Bélanger, and a dedicated offstage leadership team of facilitators presented in partnership with the Rozsa Foundation.All of this takes place at one of the most breathtaking and inspiring places on the planet — the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, this stunning location offers the perfect backdrop for reflection, connection, and creative renewal.
