Jean Philippe Tremblay, Founder and Director of the Orchestre de la Francophonie, interviews Alexander Shelley, NAC Music Director, on what it takes to be a professional orchestral musician in a changing industry. They will touch on core skills such as engagement with audiences, on the role of music and the musician in society, and on taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone.

This event is a co-presentation of Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra and l’Orchestre de la Francophonie.

The live feed will appear on the NAC Music Education & Training Facebook page and Orchestre de la Francophonie Facebook page.
