New West Music & Arts Society is a vibrant, faith-driven community pursuing Musical Excellence, Meaningful Impact, and Joy-filled Community. People often wonder what sets New West apart from other performance ensembles. The answer is simple: through performances, education, and compassionate giving, New West is committed to harnessing the power of music to inspire connection, awaken wonder, and share hope.
Musical Excellence.
“What I love about New West is that I get to perform excellent, dynamic, heart-changing music with other incredibly talented musicians!
There’s nothing else like it!”
“I was invited to your concert by a friend at work… Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first. New West’s excellence impressed me at every turn! I can’t wait for your next concert!”
Meaningful Impact.
“I absolutely LOVE that New West is committed to using their music to make an impact on people. In addition to their quality performances, they want their music to encourage and uplift and inspire. I’ve been touched deeply by New West’s music on many occasions… first as an ensemble member and, now, while I sit in the audience and let the music reach deep into my soul.”
Joyful Community.
“After a recent concert, I noticed the energy of the crowd in the lobby. Of course, there was a feeling of brightness from the music we had just experienced together, but there was something else… a sense of deep joy of simply being together in what had become a sacred space throughout the evening.”
“I love these people! Over the years, New West has become my chosen family; it is a generous (and fun!) community of love and support.”
In addition to our annual Sharing Christmas Joy event, New West actively seeks opportunities to meaningfully impact people through our music. Over the years, we have had the privilege of performing, at no cost to our guests, in countless churches throughout Alberta, at the Mustard Seed, at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, and at senior’s care homes.
“As Mom’s dementia has progressed, MUSIC HAS REMAINED OUR POINT OF CONNECTION. New West’s courtyard concert at Mom’s care home was magnificent! Not only did I enjoy the beautiful range of music, but I watched Mom come alive with joy.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A DIFFERENCE WITH YOUR MUSIC.”
