As noted earlier, there was a small glitch with Day 3's upload, but it is on Vimeo and here is the link: https://vimeo.com/490907434 You can also watch from SACT.ca We do not have the fancy countdown clock on Vimeo but.... ...the video is live now!!... We hope you enjoy tonight's presentation.

It's DAY 3!! Today's episode features; Alyssa Donahue, Hayden Libich, a duet between Marissa Kochanski & Karlie Christie, Kate Guile, Paul Woida, and a quartet performance with; Mars LaFreniere, Lara Bazant, Isabel Arias, and Mark Healy.

You will still be able to view at 7:30 PM from the SACT.ca website but rather than YouTube, the video will air on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/490907434 Sorry for any inconvenience.
