    Any reason why he chose that song? Why not “O, Canada?”

  • Cringed says:

    I hope RCM’s voice department is keeping their ears plugged

  • OldTorontonian says:

    Whether Brose is a good choice or not will reveal itself over the next few years.

    The Royal Conservatory has been doing excellently, though. As of a few years ago, the Glenn Gould School is now tuition-free, joining the likes of Colburn and Curtis.
