The collaboration included workshops with the 100+ student choir aged 8-14 to rehearse her songs \u201cFearless\u201d and \u201cFly\u201d. The project was to be performed in a live performance online, but due to the COVID-19 crisis was reimagined with the choir performing from their homes in isolation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe song Fearless has such a wonderful and powerful message,\u201d said Christie Gray, Executive Director of Sistema Toronto. \u201cOur students have had a brilliant time working with the very talented Roveena this year, and we felt this video would be a great way to end this project while also spreading an important message in a time of uncertainty and change. We hope people will watch the video and feel a sense of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a rewarding and life changing experience to work with Sistema Toronto. As a Recording Artist, I truly believe that empowering our youth through the music can truly enact social change,\u201d said Roveena.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the \u201cFearless\u201d video here:<\/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\/a3bEPJ7qjEw?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<h3 class=\"western\"><em>#LUDWIGVAN<\/em><\/h3>\n<p class=\"western\"><em>Want more updates on classical music and opera news and reviews?
