Citizens Live
Taking an oath of citizenship is probably no small thing for an adult who has spent a fair portion of their life in some other part of the world. A turning away from something — and towards something, hopefully a place and way of life that you feel certain you want to embrace. Usually you don’t get to do that accompanied by music though — which is what happened the other week when 300 new Canadians took the oath of citizenship, in a special ceremony in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Canadian citizenship. After the ceremony, conducted in the atrium of the Canadian Broadcasting Centre, there was a concert in the Glenn Gould Studio with Baana Afrique, thumb piano player Achilla Orru’s band. Also performing, fado singer Sonia Tavares, and jazz pianist Robi Botos and his trio. I heard some of the new citizens interviewed, as well as a bit of the music from the event — seemed like a pretty special day for all involved — and Monday night you can hear some of the results on Canada Live.
