Banff Summer Arts Festival 2010

May – August

Summertime and the living is easy. The jazz is jumping and the sun is high. Marilyn blows kisses, Xavier blows didgeridoo, and Jens blows his horn.

This is your invitation. Yes, it is time to leave work early and head for the mountains. Kick start your summer in the glass-wrapped Three Ravens Restaurant and Wine Bar. Banff is a place where art comes to be. With a dash of daring, mercurial music, and dance that comes within inches of the extreme verge. Where you can see the whites of their eyes.

Consider this your A to Z. John Adams, Gavin Bryars, Ravi Coltrane, Dave Douglas, James Ehnes, and on it goes, until we cross The River of No Return with Marilyn Monroe. And the zest, as they say, is history.
