We are thrilled to welcome the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, an electrifying ensemble that represents the very best of the country’s next generation of classical musicians. Drawn from across Canada through a highly competitive national audition process, these extraordinary young artists come together each summer to perform at the highest professional level, bringing passion, precision, and fearless energy to the stage.

Every NYO Canada performance radiates with intensity and commitment, as rising stars pour heart and virtuosity into some of the most powerful music ever written. Their concerts are more than performances, they’re moments of discovery where tomorrow’s leading soloists, conductors, and orchestral players reveal themselves in real time. Don’t miss this chance to experience the thrill, optimism, and sheer musical force of Canada’s finest young talent.
