“I am thrilled to be supporting the education and outreach work of Canada's NAC Orchestra as it embarks on its 50th Anniversary European Tour. Music and the arts have the ability to cross oceans and build bridges between different generations, cultures, and backgrounds. It's vital that today’s youth be inspired to learn, to dream, to be part of a team and to have grand adventures. What better way than through encouraging the love of music and music making?” Dasha Shenkman OBE, Education Partner
