The National Arts Centre’s Young Artists Program (YAP) supported the development of top young artists from across Canada and around the world from 1999-2019. Our Institute for Orchestral Studies (IOS) is a unique apprenticeship program that supports young musicians aspiring to orchestral careers. The NAC Orchestra Bursary Competition has provided audition experience and financial support to talented students in the National Capital Region since 1981.

Alumni of each of these elite initiatives join Pace Sturdevant (the Orchestra’s former principal trumpet and former Manager of Artist Training) to share their experiences in these high-level music training programs. Guests Kitty Chan (uOttawa IOS alumna), Lara Deutsch (Bursary Competition winner in 2014 and YAP alumna), and Jacob van der Sloot (YAP and Bursary alumnus and 2019-20 IOS apprentice) describe how these training programs and the support of the NAC Orchestra changed the trajectory of their careers.

Join us in this second of a series of three lively conversations exploring the National Arts Centre Orchestra’s illustrious 50-year history. This series of discussions will feature memories and highlights from some of its longest-serving players, its dedicated and talented educators, and the extraordinary young artists the Orchestra has mentored and inspired over the years.
