Students from across Metro Vancouver will perform as part of national call-to-action in support of music education

Dr. Robert Taylor and Dr. Jonathan Girard from the University of British Columbia School of Music will conduct the mass performance with Canadian children’s singer and JUNO award-winning artist, Charlotte Diamond, emceeing the event.
