Calgary's own, Michelle Minke!
Pushing the boundaries of classical opera, Calgary's Michelle Minke has made a career out of inspired disruption.  Michelle's recent debut album, Expect the Unexpected, confidently merges genres and invites creative collaborations across the musical spectrum and brings Michelle's years of top training and international new audiences. With her boundless vitality and powerful voice, Michelle trained at the Royal Academy in London England and performed throughout Europe and North America before returning to her home town of Calgary.  As founder and artistic director of Calgary's Cowtown Opera, Michelle's heartfelt excitement for contributing to the cultural identity of her city has earned her a place among arts champions. She has been named Top 40 under 40 by Avenue Magazine, received the Mayors Emerging Artist Award and was most recently honoured to be named of of Albertas 25 most inspiring artists by AFFA.


Michelle Minke

Country Music Star Trevor Panczak
With a refreshing authenticity that is increasingly rare to find, the Alberta-based country recording artist writes, interprets and records songs that speak to ones heart in a way that is simple, soulful and with an appeal to a broad array of music fans. Panczak has been writing and recording music for nearly 20 years.  He has opened for country music artists like Zac Brown Band, Michelle Wright, Don Williams, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw.
