Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra’s 50th Anniversary European Tour, led by Music Director Alexander Shelley, will cross distances, generations and expectations and break new ground for the orchestral experience both inside and outside the concert hall. The tour features adventurous new works, fresh interpretations of classics and meaningful community partnerships.

The tour kicks off in the UK from May 12 to the 15, where there will be two main concerts: one at Saffron Hall and the other at Cadogan Hall.  Both concerts feature Canadian musicians Jan Lisiecki and David DQ Lee as well as local choir, London Voices.  Community outreach and education highlights in London include a live broadband connected event, Music ConneXXions 2019, and a Royal College of Music residency.
