Volvo Calgary Proudly Sponsors Calgary Philharmonic’s Sold-Out Hans Zimmer Weekend
This past weekend, Valentine Volvo and Volvo Cars Royal Oak, part of the Valentine Group, were proud to sponsor three completely sold-out performances of the Calgary Philharmonic’s spectacular Hans Zimmer concert series, a powerful celebration of music, film, and live performance that brought thousands of Calgarians together at the Jubilee Auditorium.
As longtime supporters of community initiatives across Calgary, this partnership reflects what has guided the Valentine family for more than 60 years: investing in the people, experiences, and organizations that make our city vibrant and strong.
A Legacy of Giving Back in Calgary
Philanthropy has always been a cornerstone of the Valentine family’s values and business philosophy. For six decades, the Valentine Group has actively supported local not-for-profit organizations, community initiatives, sports teams, cultural institutions, and service clubs throughout Calgary and Southern Alberta.
As a family business rooted in this city, our commitment is simple and enduring:
“We take pride in our city and believe that giving back to the community is an essential part of doing business. We support local not-for-profit organizations, sports teams, and service clubs. Our giving programs improve the quality of life for Calgarians and make our city the best place to live, work and play.”
From arts sponsorships and youth programs to community events, our goal is to contribute meaningfully to Calgary’s long-term vitality and quality of life.
Why Supporting the Arts Matters
The arts play a critical role in shaping healthy, connected communities. Live music, theatre, visual arts, and cultural programming spark creativity, encourage dialogue, and bring people together across generations and backgrounds.
Organizations like the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra enrich our city by offering world-class performances, educational programming, and accessible cultural experiences for residents and visitors alike. Supporting the arts helps foster innovation, tourism, education, and civic pride — all essential ingredients in a thriving city.
The Hans Zimmer weekend was a powerful example of how music can inspire, energize, and unite a community. Seeing three sold-out shows filled with enthusiastic audiences reinforces why continued investment in Calgary’s arts ecosystem is so important.
Thank You to Everyone Who Stopped By
Throughout the weekend, many concertgoers stopped to visit our on-site vehicle display and connect with our team. We were delighted to meet so many members of the Calgary community, answer questions, and share in the excitement surrounding the performances.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello, explore the vehicle, and participate in the weekend’s energy. Your engagement makes these partnerships truly meaningful.
Congratulations as well to our contest winner, who took home a luxury getaway to the iconic Post Hotel — a celebration prize fitting for such an unforgettable weekend of music.
Continuing Our Commitment to Calgary Community Giving
At the Valentine Group, community investment is not a one-time initiative — it is a long-term commitment embedded in how we operate and grow our business. Whether supporting the arts, education, sports, or social services, we remain focused on strengthening the communities where our employees, customers, and families live and work.
We are grateful to partner with organizations like the Calgary Philharmonic and look forward to continuing our role in supporting Calgary’s cultural and philanthropic landscape for decades to come.
If you attended the Hans Zimmer weekend, we hope the experience inspired you as much as it did us.
