A week of programmes from across Canada, marking the 150th anniversary of the founding of the nation. Tonight, indigenous music from First Nation reserves in Ontario and Quebec. Mary Ann Kennedy visits the annual pow-wow by the Algonquin people at Kitigan Zibi, and there is a session from the Six Nations Reserve by singer Lacey Hill. Jarrett Martineau introduces tracks by leading artists from Canada's indigenous and Inuit communities, and there are concert sets from Winnipeg singer-songwriter IsKwe and DJ remixers A Tribe Called Red.
Beginning on Saturday 24th June, and ending as Canada Day dawns on 1st July, Canada 150 explores the range and diversity of Canadian music and arts, focused mainly on late night on Radio 3, recorded on location across Canada from the Rockies to the eastern seabord. Canada's classical music scene is reflected in contemporary music from Banff in the Rocky Mountains, plus an Early Music Show from Montreal; Francophone and Anglophone traditional folk are represented in a kitchen party from Prince Edward Island; jazz and indigenous music is highlighted in programmes from Calgary and the Six Nations Reserve; and Canada's lively indie music scene is reflected with sets from the CBC's Music Festival in Toronto. Other highlights include a specially-commissioned collaboration representing the cultural links between the UK and Canada; and a feature from UK pianist James Rhodes focusing on a legend of Canadian music, Glenn Gould, complete with an interview with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Plus Canada-themed content across Radio 3, with daily tracks on Breakfast, Canadian guests on In Tune, and a Canada-inspired Words and Music.
