The ensemble will rehearse from Sunday, May 9th to Friday, May 14th in Calgary AB, culminating with a feature concert at Mount Royal University on May 14th.

Membership in the LHSO includes eligibility for some of more than $50,000 of industry-sponsored scholarships.

Auditions close on January 22, 2027.  The fee for successful applicants is $90.

CONTACT: Jerzy Kaplanek (jkaplanek@wlu.ca)

Accommodations for out-of-town honour ensemble members have been arranged at the Mount Royal University residences in Calgary.  Honour ensemble members are encouraged to stay at the residence, but ARE NOT required to do so.

MusicFest is subsidizing the cost to have honour ensemble members reside close to the rehearsal locations. Because of this subsidy, they are limited to members of the honour groups and can only be booked through the MusicFest Canada office. These arrangements are limited to six (6) nights only. For those wishing to stay at the Mount Royal residences, the cost is $495.00 for the week. If you have a preference for the person sharing the room, that can be indicated on your online registration if you are accepted into the ensemble.

Check In: Sunday, May 9, 2027, 4:00pm – 7:00pm
Check Out: Saturday, May 15, 2027, 11:00am

Transportation to and from Calgary is the responsibility of each individual musician. Any honour ensemble member travelling by air to Calgary will be met promptly by MusicFest staff either wearing a MusicFest T-shirt and/or carrying a MusicFest sign. We will provide ground transportation to the hotel (and back).
