Every seat in the house has excellent view of the stage and wonderful sound quality. Only down is the horribly over-priced parking. More

Great venue. Not a bad seat in the house. We were there for a combined concert with the U of Alberta's Madrigal Singers, Concert Choir and Symphonic Wind Ensamble. Thoroughly enjoyable! More

The accoustics are excellent at the Winspear. You won't hear a performance that has such great sound anywhere else throughout Alberta. More

I think that I would just give any venue a perfect review if Ben Folds was played with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. It was phenomenal. I do love the Winspear.

This was almost my first Five-Star. The Winspear is a phenomenal venue for live music. The sound and the view are amazing. Even the seats are fairly comfortable. My wife and I saw Chicago play here (I'm referring to the band, not the musical) recently. They have a predominately horn-filled sound (I'm talking about brass instruments here) and brass can...

I would prefer this venue of all the ones available in Edmonton. The sound is superb and despite the size, it has an intimate feel to it. Parking is easily accessible through an abundance of parkades in the area (the heart of downtown). I always park at the underground library as there is a pedaway leading to the centre, an... More
