The inaugural Sound Atlas Festival (SAF) made its debut in Calgary, Alberta on June 23-25, 2023 hosted by the powerhouse mixed chamber ensemble, Latitude 49. SAF is an experimental adventure in sound, living always in the new and the now. In partnership with the University of Calgary School of Creative and Performing Arts and Contemporary Calgary, SAF highlights include sonic deep dives with Latitude 49 and expert-new-music folks from across North America, world premieres, sound installations, interdisciplinary art, genre-bending curiosities, community outreach and engagement, youth education and more. Avant-folk vocalist and composer Annika Socolofsky serves as our featured festival composer in the Canadian debut of her breathtaking song-cycle and debut album, Don’t Say a Word. Learn more at, https://www.soundatlasfest.com.
