Concerts & Educational Events
When the National Arts Centre Orchestra goes on tour there are many things to do besides traveling and performing. In addition to rehearsing the NAC Orchestra musicians spend a great deal of time teaching young artists and visiting schools. Throughout the tour Pinchas Zukerman, Alexina Louie and NAC Orchestra musicians will provide high level training to music students in universities and high schools and will bring live music to elementary classrooms.
