Music Monday 2013 – Launching into Orbit!
When the Coalition for Music Education coined the phrase ‘Filling the Skies with Music’ for the 2013 edition of Music Monday, they truly meant it! The Coalition has partnered with CBC Music and the Canadian Space Agency to take the Music Monday celebration to new heights.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson have collaborated between earth and space to co-write the official song for Music Monday 2013. The end-result features Hadfield playing the song from the International Space Station, while Robertson and the Wexford Gleeks, a TDSB school choir, join him to unite in song with schools and communities across our nation.

The song premiered on February 8, 2013 across CBC platforms: CBC-TV, CBC Radio and CBCMusic.ca
