Welcome to the Alberta Scene
Where Alberta comes to the Nation's Capital
April 28 to May 10, 2005.
More than 600 Alberta artists took over the capital's arts and culture scene in the biggest showcase ever of Alberta talent outside that province. Alberta Scene featured 95 events and 215 performances and concerts, in 25 different venues. Almost every artistic discipline was represented, from music to cooking, via theatre, dance, children's entertainments, film, literature and the visual arts.
The Alberta Scene opened with Filumena - the dazzling opera by John Estacio, with lyrics by John Murrell - and then switched gears to present breathtaking performances by alt-country singer Corb Lund, punk-rockers SNFU, blues musician Amos Garrett, Decidedly Jazz Danceworks and Alberta Ballet, as well as works by visuals artists David Hoffos and Janet Cardiff and chef Ned Bell.

Alberta Scene was a resounding success! While the festival has finished, it has created the spark for so many other great things to come. More Alberta culture, more widespread!
A very successful presenters program has led to many interesting leads. We're expecting that there will be lots of bookings for festivals, tours and performances resulting from Alberta Scene, so that the Scene lives on.
Thanks for visiting albertascene.ca and thanks for attending any of the great performances that set the National Capital Region alight from April 28 to May 10. Please follow this link to read more about so many of the great performances that made Alberta Scene rock.
