Inspired by the belief that artists can shape our destiny, as famously stated by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Letters to the Future is a heightened concert experience that is a world premiere of a year-long creative development process.

This unique show is an invitation to engage in a collective act of time travel, exploring themes of legacy, climate, and the transformative role of art. As Jeanette Winterson wrote, "art does not imitate life, art anticipates life," and this evening captures that spirit.

Through a dynamic fusion of music and ideas, a rotating cast of celebrated writers and musicians will present original songs and spoken letters addressed directly to you and our collective future. The performance unfolds as a living archive in song and story, affirming that artists don’t just reflect the world—they shape its unfolding.

Join us for this special launch event and be among the first to experience this powerful, boundary-pushing concert. Special Guests to be announced!

Developed with support from the National Arts Centre's National Creation Fund and with the development partnership of Theatre Aquarius and the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
