Hear the National Youth Orchestra of Canada perform
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
For the third summer, the National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC) is making the Don Wright Faculty of Music at The University of Western Ontario its home base. The group of the best young orchestral players in the country will spend three weeks preparing for their tour, kicking it off July 24 at Alumni Hall.
During the month at Western, the orchestra prepares repertoire for its tour.
“An NYOC concert is like no other performance. Our students not only play at or above the level of most professional orchestras, they bring with them a passion and energy not found anywhere else. The experience is truly amazing and quite magical. Anyone who loves music (regardless of what kind) will not only enjoy an NYOC performance, they cannot help but be moved. It is not to be missed, says Barbara Smith, NYOC executive director.
The NYOC invites everyone to their concerts, both the chamber ones and the July 24 tour concert at 7:30 p.m. in Alumni Hall.
