Executive Producer, Popular Music and Variety Heather Gibson
“The return to our stages with a full season of programming is the light at the end of a dark tunnel for everyone at the NAC and our amazing and resilient Canadian artists. The pandemic truly inspired a time to reflect and renew our support and commitment to artists both on and off the stage; in the producer’s studios, with mentorship opportunities, and through collaborations and partnerships. The 2022-23 season brings me hope knowing that the value of the arts is clear. We can’t wait to welcome you back.”
