The evening featured an all-Canadian lineup performing Eltons classics, including Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan, and rising stars like Jeremy Dutcher and LOONY. Elton praised Canadas vibe and his deep ties to the country. He also handpicked mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo for the Glenn Gould Protégé Prize.
