As you drive toward Rosebud, Alberta, the blacktop prairie highway rolls under your wheels as you make your way to the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival. Bugs hit your windshield as the wide-open road becomes the seam through this patchwork of canola and wheat.
In the distance, a white towering cloud dumps rain on the grateful land. You open your window, turn off the radio, and breathe in the fresh air. The anticipation of harvest is thick.
You don’t know it, but you’re forming a lifelong memory. Time seems to disappear as you lose yourself in the echoes of First Nations People and long-forgotten sod-busting pioneers.
Only a few corners, over a hill, and then into a green river valley which holds the hamlet of Rosebud, Alberta, home of Rosebud Centre of the Arts.
Brighter than a thousand points of light, classical music luminaries descend on Rosebud once a year for the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival. The tsunami of excellence and anticipation emanates from our guests for the festival, a company that includes multi-Juno recipient, John Stetch, a quartet of Canada’s most thrilling young string players and acclaimed pianist, Peter Longworth.
This year, the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival is bringing a brand new outdoor performance to the spectacular Passion Play Site in Drumheller. Don’t miss this amazing week of concerts!
