The world premiere of the new guitar concerto written for him by esteemed composer Howard Shore will be rescheduled for February 2019 at the National Arts Centre.

Music. Wine. Friends. 
A Perfect Way to Enjoy it All.

Unwind at the end of your week with our wildly popular casual Fridays!

5PM    Pre-concert reception in Southam Hall Lobby, OPEN TO ALL whether or not you attend the concert. Enjoy cocktails, available for purchase, and live jazz.

7PM    90-minute NAC Orchestra concert without intermission. Each invited guest concert host connects with musicians to provide a deeper understanding of the music and lets you experience the orchestra in a directly personal way.    

8:30PM    Post-concert reception in the Main Lobby. Mix and mingle with fellow music lovers and NAC Orchestra musicians.

The building is really coming along!
Unfortunately due to construction limitations, we will no longer be able to sell Casual Fridays tapas like we have in the past. We apologize for this inconvenience but promise that the construction pains we feel now will be well worth it when we welcome you back into the newly expanded NAC.
