National Music Centre

We're doing a Sync preview fundraiser.

And then on November 14th at the National Music Center.

What a great venue.

Beautiful place to host that sort of thing.

We're only doing one day and we're going to it's going to be a full day.

I'm going to do a totally different thing.

I'm going to do like a sound bath with some of the instruments that at the actual National Music Center collection.

And then we got workshops.

A lot of that changes in arts, culture, and creation.

You see the signs all over, whether it's the Glenbow Museum, the Old Planetarium, the National Music Centre, or right here, this city is making a series of huge investments in imagination and creation.

That's not the way people always think about Calgary.

I'm not sure it's always the way that Calgary thinks about itself, but making it happen is my next guest's full-time job.

And it is true.

You know, I talked about... 2018, opening the library, that was the largest investment since the 88 Olympics, but we've had over a billion since up to 2018.

And since then, there's eight billion in the queue for other projects, including the Glenbow National Music Centre completed before 2018, but Greenline, I can go on and on.

1.4 billion worth of hotel rooms announced in the last year.

...

the National Music Center in Calgary and play the Tonto.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

yeah.

So it's called the National Music Centre.

It's in Calgary in Canada, if you ever find yourself in Calgary.

Um, I, it used to be, so I worked there from 2007 to around 2017.

brilliant

And so now it's changed a bit.

Since 2012, it's been the National Music Centre and they moved into a different building that's a bit more of like a structured museum.

But the mandate of it has also changed a bit where it's meant to show the history of Canadian music.
