The Calgary Philharmonic Presents - Wondering with Wonder: Education Concerts


  • Jack Singer Concert Hall 225 8 Avenue Southwest Calgary, AB, T2P 2K4 Canada (map)

Wandering with Wonder, written and created by Samantha Whelan Kotkas with original compositions by Chris Andrew, Jordan Andrew, Matt Epp, Sherryl Sewepagaham, and Walter MacDonald White Bear, tells the tale of a girl, Wonder, who loses her song and looks to her friends Turtle, Bear, Beaver, and Eagle to help her find it.

Through this story, with film by Roadwest Pictures and orchestrations by Claude Lapalme, we learn we all have a little Wonder in each of us, which allows us to speak to the animals and listen to the trees. And when we are silent, we can hear our songs in the wind.

These light-hearted one-hour school-day programs are designed to educate and inspire students. Concerts are shaped with themes presented in the classroom, and an accompanying guide is provided to all registered schools. We welcome educators and students from public, separate, private, charter, and home schools.

A limited number of subsidies are available. These subsidies are made possible thanks to the generous support of our donors.
