Triumph’s “Hold On” Selected Coalition Anthem
Coalition For Music Education In Canada will celebrate Music Monday on May 5th with a cross-country sing-along in classrooms, concerts and at special events to raise awareness for music education. The Music Monday anthem will be “Hold On,” by Canadian power trio Triumph.
“We wanted to celebrate homegrown talent and Triumph’s ‘Hold On’ was a natural choice because of its powerful message of a belief in our own resiliency,” noted Stacey Sinclair, Coalition For Music Education In Canada executive director. “We are so grateful to Triumph band members Rik Emmett, Gil Moore and Mike Levine for lending us this song and for their enthusiastic support of Music Monday.”
Coalition For Music Education In Canada was created to celebrate the power of music and demonstrate how that power is rooted in school music programs.
Released in June 1979, “Hold On” was Triumph’s first chart-topping single in Canada leading to the band’s eventual induction into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame in 2008 and Canada’s Walk Of Fame in 2019.
