As one of Canada's premier music venues, the Francis Winspear Centre for Music provides musical experiences rooted in creativity, imagination, and excellence. We emphasize the importance of live experiences, hosting music groups and individuals of all abilities, anchored by our resident artists, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

Currently, we are expanding the Winspear Centre with a new second performance hall, classrooms, and mixed-use immersive spaces. Learn more at winspearcentre.com.
