Приєднався 9 сер 2015
Founded in 2015, MSC Choirs unites young people from the GTA with a passion for choral excellence. We pride ourselves in our efforts to connect the youth community through music, as well as supporting the next generation of choral music leaders. We aim to foster valuable skills and professional development for the future leaders of the Canadian choral music community by supporting talented local singers, composers, educators, and conductors. What began as a small group of singers sharing their appreciation of choral music within our local community has growing into five choirs operating with the MSC, under the direction of Artistic Director Kai Leung and Associate Conductors Emily Parker, Nila Rajagopal, Meredith Wanstall, Nathan Gritter, Tyrese Walters, and Katie Hatanaka.

Wow!!
I love the blending of nature and all the cultural and ethnic blending of vocal ranges in this. When we all sing together the world moves to our voices. Powerful. Moving. Cleansing. Hope is inspired by things like this. Maybe the human race isn’t done for after all keep it up.
Amé me erizó el cuerpo 🥰
I love this!
Oh my heavens. I never, ever leave comments on UA-cam but this is just breathtaking, literally. Both the music and the skill of the performers. I didn’t know whether to laugh, shout, or cry
To everyone involved: Thank you! You have ALL put together something special and peaceful within a troubled world.
Props for the overtones!
I feel this to my core...I am such a small thing to this Earth...even a mushroom helps more than me to give benefit to this beautiful planet...can you even imagine as elementals watch over how they may feel of us?...cutting,burning, building, polluting...true elementals, fairy (fea) and the like...put here to protect the earth and her creatures...I feel blessed to be here and hope the earth was blessed in someway from me🌱🙌
I am in love with this whole piece. It’s so pure and moving. Deep bow!
I've listened to / watched a few versions of The Elements recently, and this is one of the coolest versions I've seen so far.
Okay weirdly enough with the music, the first two guys that started, well it totally sounds to me like the Witches from the Series Motherland: Fort Salem.
Is just beutiful
Great song, singing and video!
I did not ever think that Fire would work so well as an EDM type track but goddamn it does
0:38
gave me chills. I remember performing this in university. Well done!
So beautiful! Miss this sound 💙
Thank you for the great performance of my song!
Matthew Emery glad you enjoyed it, thanks for you comment Matthew!
