Calgary Songs Project: 30 Songs Celebrating 30 Years - Calgary Tower Carillon
Arranged by Kenna Burima
You can’t untangle the music from the people who made it. Musician and composer Kenna Burima and Arif Ansari, the mind behind the Calgary Cassette Preservation Society, bring you the Calgary Songs Project: 30 Songs Celebrating 30 years, a tribute to this city’s recent musical heritage. The result is a 30-song playlist that celebrates 30 years of song in Calgary — ringing out from towers, throughout downtown, from the stage in our beloved Royal Canadian Legion #1 — and in the hearts of Calgarians everywhere.
The final Calgary Songs Project playlist is unveiled on the opening night of the 30th anniversary of One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo. That evening Kenna Burima will perform an arranged medley of the 30 songs on the Calgary Tower’s carillon. A recording of this performance will then play every weekday afternoon during the month of January.
