First Ever Space-to-Earth Musical Collaboration

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, from aboard the International Space Station (I.S.S.), and Ed Robertson, a Canadian lead singer from Barenaked Ladies band recently recorded a fantastic single titled “I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing)” with a children’s choir, the Wexford Gleeks from Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts.

It’s described as the “first space-to-earth musical collaboration” and it was “commissioned by CBCMusic.ca and The Coalition for Music Education with the Canadian Space Agency to celebrate music education in schools across Canada.”
