Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts

HCA Society (formally known as HCA Dance and Theatre) was founded in partnership with the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts (HCA) in 2001 as an incorporated non-profit organization. Now the professionally-focused charitable arm of the HCA organization, HCA Society has grown to encompass four flagship events, featuring a wide variety of professional dance, music, theatre, and visual artists. Artistic and Executive Director Vitek Wincza has produced numerous dance productions, arts festivals and showcase performances, and has been awarded internationally for his work. He is a 2017 City of Hamilton Gallery of Distinction Recipient.

Other artistic achievements include an ongoing partnership with Dusk Dances as a local licensee, and Displacement, a multi-arts production in partnership with the Harbourfront Next Steps Series with Robert Glumbek, composer Christos Hatzis, visual artist Vessna Perunovich, and featuring the Penderecki String Quartet.

HCA Society's classical music series has run for over seventeen years. In 2021, the concert series grew into the Performing Arts Sunday Series, or PASS, keeping the tradition of live music alive for contemporary audiences, but producing complementary theatre and dance works to highlight and better reflect contemporary issues.
