Overview
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. Every summer, we invite Canada's best and brightest young musicians to a month-long training program at Wilfrid Laurier University, where they learn under esteemed musicians. Following that, the orchestra embarks on a concert tour. Past destinations have included Canada, Germany, Croatia, Spain, and India. With an entirely tuition-free program, we are able to ensure that all musicians talented enough to join our orchestra can do so, regardless of their financial circumstances. The mandate of NYO Canada is to discover and inspire well-rounded and skilled orchestral musicians, to support and promote Canadian emerging composers and artists, and to build appreciation for classical music among audiences in every corner of the nation.
