Have you always wanted to play an instrument, sing or refresh forgotten music abilities, then the Valley Winds Music Association (VWMA) is a wonderful way to experience the joy of music and learning in our community
The VWMA has over 110 members and consists of 4 community musical groups – the Concert Band, Jazz Band, Choir CHORDillera, and The Men of the Mountains Choir. Located in the Canmore and Banff area of the Bow Valley in Alberta, Canada, the groups hold weekly rehearsals and periodic public performances throughout the fall, winter and spring.
We always are encouraging younger musicians to join us, so that they can, under the expert guidance of our musical directors, build on the musicianship they developed during their schooldays.
We welcome you to join us NOW for a fun, relaxed, and rewarding musical experience!
