The Toronto Symphony Orchestra recorded the team\u2019s anthem, released on October 23. It has been playing throughout the series.<\/p>\n<p>As that series reaches the key sixth game tonight, it\u2019s a good time to showcase the track. It\u2019s an orchestral arrangement of the song \u201cI Want It All\u201d but UK band Queen. The arrangement by Matthew Freeman was originally featured on the album Symphonic Queen by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>RBC Resident Conductor and TSYO Conductor Nicholas Sharma led the orchestra during the recording session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith all eyes on Toronto as the World Series begins tonight, this project is a powerful reminder of what we do best: bringing big emotions to big moments and uniting our city through the power of music,\u201d says Mark Williams, Beck Family CEO in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike sports, music has a unique ability to inspire pride, connection, and a sense of belonging \u2014 and it\u2019s a privilege to play our part in such an iconic Toronto moment. Let\u2019s go Blue Jays!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A video of the recording was filmed on location at Roy Thomson Hall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KZlXJ2Na6C0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Whether they win or lose tonight, we hope the teams (both of them) know how proud the city is of them and their efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you looking to promote an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/toronto\/advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a\"><u>event<\/u><\/span><\/a>?
