National Youth Orchestra of Canada Tickets

The National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYO Canada) is Canada's premier program for emerging young classical musicians. Since its founding in 1960 by Walter Susskind, NYO Canada has nurtured and advanced the next generation of professional orchestral talent. Each summer, the program auditions hundreds of applicants—more than 500 hopefuls compete for about 90–100 spots—to form a high-caliber ensemble that performs nationally and abroad. Under the leadership of Naomi Woo, appointed Music Director in 2023, NYO Canada continues a tradition of artistic excellence and impactful residency experiences.

NYO Canada is known for its national tours, a multi-week residency, a full recording program, and a robust public engagement presence. Alumni represent a significant portion of Canada’s professional orchestras, reflecting the organization’s role in shaping the country’s classical landscape.
