You’ve never heard Leonard Cohen’s classic song “Hallelujah” quite like this.

Rufus Wainwright joined 1,500 Choir! Choir! Choir! members in June for a moving performance of the song at the Luminato Festival in Toronto.

Wainwright posted a video of the performance on his Facebook page, saying that the experience was “pretty unreal.”

The video has generated over 10 million views.
