Celebrate Canada Day with a free concert by the NAC Orchestra!

Happy Canada Day! On July 1, join us for a free concert downtown in the nation’s capital.

Hosted by slam poet and songwriter YAO, and conducted by Alexander Shelley, this 2024 edition will also feature homegrown international violin sensation Kerson Leong, and vocalist Kellylee Evans.

The concert features works spanning over 100 years of Canadian music-making  by Keiko Devaux, Francois Dompierre, Jean Coulthard, and more!  As is tradition, our Canada Day Concert will close with the unforgettable “Hymn to Freedom” by Oscar Peterson, and more exciting repertoire will be announced from the stage.
