I attended an Edmonton Symphony concert and I truly enjoyed the whole experience. The music was beautiful and the acoustics at this venue was amazing. I would love to go back and attend another concert there.

You can never go wrong seeing anything at the Winspear. From spoken word (Kevin Smith) to rock (Barenaked Ladies) to the symphony everything sounds great here. Great site lines from all seats! Highly recommend any musical event here!

I attended Edmonton for meetings and managed to fit a performance from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in while there. The Winspear Centre is in a great location for visitors staying in the downtown Edmonton area, it is really easy to find and walk to from most of the area hotels.

Not a bad seat in the theatre. Great acoutics, comfortable seats and great sight lines. Good selection of music shows, from symphony to rock tribute bands, easy to get to , via LRT or parking in City hall.

Our family has been to the Winspear a number of times. The acoustics never fail - it doesn't matter where you sit, as you get fantastic sound no matter where you are. The sizeable pipe organ just gives the hall some unique elegance and is quite the experience to hear. The sight lines as also great no matter where you... More

This concert hall is great for any size performance. Accoustis are unbelievable. Could hear a pin drop from stage to row 20 without aid of sound system.

This is for the artistic and music loving people. The concert hall is quite literally a giant acoustic instrument and it is a great place to watch and listen to choir music or any kinda of orchestral arrangement.
