Established under the guidance of NAC Orchestra Music Director Pinchas Zukerman, the IOS is an apprenticeship program designed to prepare highly talented young musicians for successful orchestral careers, and is funded by the National Arts Centre Foundation through the National Youth and Education Trust. During selected main series weeks of the 2011-2012 season, the five apprentices rehearse and perform with the NAC Orchestra.
