This collaboration not only highlights the musical prowess of its participants but also underscores the importance of music education. In the video, Gil offers an inspirational talk to the musicians in the studio, showcasing the incredible power of music to connect and inspire us all. It's heartwarming to see so many talented musicians coming together, reflecting the spirit of unity among Canadians".
