The performance was organized by Choir! Choir! Choir!!, a Toronto-based musical group founded by Daveed Goldman and Nobu Adilman in 2011 to host a bi-weekly and open participatory singalong event at various locations.

It was a magical evening. 1500 hundred singers came to Luminato Festival at the Hearn Generating Station in Toronto. Daveed + Nobu (AKA DaBu) taught them back up parts to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, then Rufus Wainwright joined them on stage to sing lead. It was an EPIC NIGHT! to remember.
