Alberta Ballet Announces Departure of Executive Director Martin Bragg

It is with regret that Alberta Ballet announces the departure of our Executive Director, Martin Bragg. Martin is the ultimate Renaissance man, whose unique expertise wove business and arts together in an extraordinary way. His visionary leadership catapulted Alberta Ballet to new heights, surpassing all those before him. Through his exceptional leadership, Martin expanded Alberta Ballet to all communities across Alberta, ensuring a rich cultural fabric for years to come.

Prepared by the Board and supported by Artistic Director Jean Grand-Maître and the leadership team, a transition plan is in place to ensure Alberta Ballet's strategic plan stays on course. During his tenure at Alberta Ballet, Martin built a dynamic and committed team who remain in place.

We invite you to reach out and connect with our Interim Executive Director, Board Chair, Dawn McDonald.
