Dione with Sharon Riley and The Faith Chorale
The concert was an eclectic mix of diverse Canadian talent which included David Foster, Jann Arden, Deborah Cox, Natalie MacMaster, Leahy, Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale, K'Naan, Comedian Sean Cullen and Environmentalist David Suzuki. Dione's performance brought the house down with the help of the wonderfully talented Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale. Governor General Michaelle Jean was among the top dignitaries present for the occasion and spoke sentimentality about the new Crystal: "This bold and alluring building is proof of the spirit of ingenuity that exists in this country," said Jean.
Dione finishes shooting her first music video

If SWAY ran the JUNO's
"Sweetly melancholic and defiantly optimistic, jazz vocalist Dione Taylor’s voice is like a perfect first date after months of singledom. We can’t resist."
- Nick Aveling (SWAY Magazine. May 7, 2007)
