Synth Soundbath: Prophet-5
2026-07-26 10:30 - 23:59 (America/Edmonton) | Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, 850 4 Street Southeast, Calgary, T2G 1R1
Join us at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, for Synth Soundbath, a new monthly series exploring the intersection of wellness and music technology.
Part immersive listening session, part interpretive learning experience, this program invites participants to experience sound as both a creative and sensory force. Held on the last Sunday of each month, each session spotlights a different synthesizer from NMC’s collection.
Often associated with experimental music rather than wellness practices, synthesizers offer a unique lens into the science of sound and the body’s response to vibration, expanding how we listen, feel, and understand music’s role in well-being.
This session highlights the Sequential Prophet-5, released in 1978. The Prophet-5 was the first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer, combining analog warmth with patch memory for instant recall. Its five-voice design and rich, stable tone made it a defining instrument of late-’70s and early-’80s electronic, pop, and new wave music.
Guests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, blanket, or anything that helps them get comfortable as they settle in.

Every week, country-folk singer-songwriter Carter Felker presents a chill weekend set with a rotating cast of guests.
This family-friendly show is best paired with our delicious Sunday brunch!
Brunch menu: https://kingeddy.ca/menu
About Carter Felker:
Born and raised in the Prairies, Carter Felker’s eyes have seen the length of the wheat fields through many winter mornings, and the stretch of the sun through many short-lived summers. He has laboured, he has lost, and he has loved. Carter uses his own experience, and his desire to tell a story to create honest, human-made, country music.
“Carter Felker traffics in music, yes, but even more profoundly in essence: the humdrum essence of Monday morning alarms clocks coming round again during lifetimes ticking on through thoughtless dawn moments walking across the kitchen floor; the craven essence of sneaking wordlessly away from a relationship and feeling the mute screen door sag shut behind you; the essence of everyday struggles.” – MLW

Little Mermaid
2026-07-26 14:00 - 23:59 (America/Edmonton) | One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre (Big Secret Theatre), 225 8 Ave Se, Calgary, T2G 0K9
FlipSide Theatre, in association with Philippine Festival Council of Alberta (PFCA) and Forte Musical Theatre, presents Little Mermaid.
Little Mermaid is a bold new musical adaptation of the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale. Featuring a book by acclaimed playwrights Jaime del Mundo and Luna Griño-Inocian, with music by Broadway performer Lito Villareal, this reimagined production plunges audiences into a world of wonder, magic, and sacrifice beneath the sea.
At the heart of the story is Jewel, a fierce and spirited young mermaid who longs for a life beyond the ocean’s depths. On her sixteenth birthday, she encounters Christian, a human prince from a distant land, and becomes captivated by the world he represents. But when the cunning sea witch Crustacea learns of Jewel’s forbidden dream, she strikes a dangerous bargain: Jewel’s voice in exchange for human legs. With only three days to make Christian fall in love with her, Jewel must risk everything—or lose her voice forever and be banished from the sea she once called home.
Brought to life through dazzling costumes, inventive puppetry, soaring music, and performances by some of the most exciting emerging Filipino musical theatre artists today, Little Mermaid promises a theatrical experience filled with heart, spectacle, and unforgettable magic.
