Road to the JUNOS!
The Calgary Philharmonic
A collaboration between the Calgary Phil and Pink Flamingo on the Black Lives Matter Murals Project invited two vastly different artistic cultures to collide. Five artists were invited to respond to a new Calgary Phil commission by Canadian composer Laura Hawley, written for our Chorus and based on L.R. Knost’s poem I Rise. We celebrate the results with the debut of this new work in a performance led by conductor Leslie B. Dunner, accompanied by the mural artwork, and music by Duke Ellington and Florence Price. Uyemi and Sinzere join us for John Legend and Common’s hit Glory from Selma.
Presented in partnership with Pink Flamingo.

The first track on Sinzere’s debut Tabula Rasa begins with a dramatic spoken-word intro. Appropriately called The Mission, it starts out somewhat cryptically. Her voice booming with purpose, Sinzere talks about the significance of the number 13 before referencing American abolitionist Harriet Tubman and outlining the historical, spiritual and personal ambitions of her first full-length album.
