As part of Radio 3's Canada 150 season, Hannah French takes a tour of one of the world's leading centres for artistic creativity - The Banff Centre - situated in one of the most breath-taking locations in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. We'll hear recent recordings made at the Banff Centre - music reflecting Canada's vibrant classical and contemporary music scene.

CANADA 150: 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, and 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.
