About the Performance

This concert of chamber music favourites features members of the NAC Orchestra and former NAC Orchestra Bursary winners. Don’t miss this fabulous concert and the special opportunity to contribute to the development of young musicians!

The first NAC Orchestra Bursary Competition was in 1981. The Bursary provides recognition and financial support to help further the development of young Canadian orchestral musicians who have connections to the National Capital Region. The first year, one prize of $1,000 was awarded. Thanks to the generosity of additional organizations and individuals, other prizes have been added for a total in 2015 of $19,000.
