FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Toronto, May 20th, 2020 -- In honour of Canada Day 2020, ViVA Trio has assembled an incredible all-Canadian cast of talent to perform “O Canada” virtually.

In a montage of some of Canada’s top-tier talent, this video embodies Canada’s music scene, with a diverse set of instrumentalists and singers of all genres and voice types!
