Sealed Vinyl LP.

Gordon Slater studied the piano from the age of 4 and started playing the carillon when he was 7 by assisting his father, James, a former carillonneur at the Metropolitan United Church in Toronto. Before serving as the Dominion Carillonneur from 1977 to 2008, Mr. Slater held the position of carillonneur at three other Canadian carillons: the Rainbow Tower Carillon in Niagara Falls, Ontario; the Carlsberg Carillon of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto; and the Soldiers’ Tower Carillon of the University of Toronto. As a professional member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, he served on the board of directors, on the examination committee, on the music selection committee, and as editor of its academic publication, The Bulletin. He holds the Berkeley Medal from the University of California at Berkeley for distinguished service to the carillon. Mr. Slater conducts Divertimento Orchestra, a 70-piece amateur symphony, and plays bassoon and contrabassoon with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra.
