About National Youth Orchestra of Canada
NYO Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization founded in 1960 by former Toronto Symphony Orchestra Music Director, Walter Susskind, to nurture outstanding young musical talent in Canada. At first, the orchestra’s emphasis was on a two-week concert tour. Since then, NYO Canada has become Canada’s most comprehensive instructional program. The Orchestral Training Institute now includes a chamber music festival and a series of workshops focusing on business skills, audition preparation, injury prevention, mental health and wellness. The tour is an integral program component, showcasing Canadian talent worldwide.
Since its inaugural tour, NYO Canada has performed in every major Canadian city, including concerts in Europe and Asia, travelling to 12 countries and counting. In 2017, the Edges of Canada tour was selected as a Canada 150 signature project celebrating our nation’s sesquicentennial. Today, one-third of Canada’s professional orchestral musicians are alums of NYO Canada.
