Your Brain on Music

MUSIC THAT MOVES YOU… LITERALLY.

AUGUST 8, 2025 | 6:00 PM – MIDNIGHT

Taylor Swift said it best: “I’ve got that muuusic in my mind sayin’ it’s gonna be alright.” But did you know music literally lights up your brain? Like, it activates it in ways nothing else can. On Aug 8, Spark After Dark invites you to dive into the science behind the beats that move you — from how tracks are made to the brain magic behind the music. It’s creativity and science vibing together IRL.

Featuring some of Calgary’s diverse local artists and legends, plus collabs with Calgary Opera, National Music Centre, Long & McQuade, and more.

And here’s a little extra for Spark Members.

During Spark After Dark events, Spark Members get VIP treatment, including free parking and only a $10 ticket, plus a 15% discount at the Spark Eatery, Astronaut Ice Cream café, and the Spark Store.
