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.
Joining them is Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, a passionate and internationally acclaimed conductor known for his clarity, insight, and ability to create powerful connections between audiences and musicians. He currently holds four concurrent posts with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and Symphony Nova Scotia, and has appeared with leading ensembles including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and LA Phil. He is also the host of CBC’s nationally broadcast program Centrestage.
