Video Round-Up: ONE SONG GLORY
We are ecstatic to release a selection of the final videos created during our fully-subsidized youth training program, One Song Glory! Over 5 weeks, 100 youth from across Canada were immersed in musical storytelling; strengthening their craft, building transferable life skills, and bonding them as a community of peers. Participants worked alongside leading Canadian composers & lyricists to create 12 original songs based on their shared experiences and values. See a selection of the released numbers below!
