The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is set to host a weekend of live music on June 27 and 28, 2026, bringing two very different performances to the mountain town. Pink Martini All-Stars will play an indoor show at the Jenny Belzberg Theatre on Saturday night, while IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild returns to the Shaw Amphitheatre for an outdoor concert on Sunday afternoon.
The weekend starts with Pink Martini All-Stars, a touring version of the Portland-based band known for mixing jazz, funk, and world music. The group has sold more than 3 million albums and played sold-out shows from Carnegie Hall to Paris’s L’Olympia theatre. This performance features three singers: NPR journalist and former All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro, soul vocalist Edna Vazquez, and Jimmie Herrod, a finalist on America’s Got Talent. The concert begins at 8 p.m. inside the newly renovated Jenny Belzberg Theatre.
The following day, Sunday at 4 p.m., the focus shifts outdoors to the Shaw Amphitheatre. IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild, founded in 2016 by pianist Hunter Noack, brings a 1912 Steinway Model D concert grand piano to the venue, with Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain as the backdrop. Audience members are given wireless headphones to hear the music clearly while they wander through the open-air space. Noack has put on more than 355 concerts across Canada and the United States, playing for over 95,000 people.
Ticket prices for the Pink Martini show range from $65 to $110. Tickets for IN A LANDSCAPE are $64. Both can be bought through the Banff Centre box office. For those planning an overnight stay, the centre is offering a hotel discount with the promotional code STAY, giving up to 30 percent off rooms.
The double bill is part of the Banff Centre’s 2026 Summer Arts Festival, which runs from May to September and includes over 100 concerts, workshops, readings, and exhibitions.
