Led by acclaimed Music Director Naomi Woo, this one night only anniversary performance at Toronto’s stunning Koerner Hall brings together Canada’s top young musicians for a powerful program that spans timeless masterpieces and bold new voices.

(JUST last month we were at a Conductors Masterclass at Roy Thomson Hall--where Naomi Woo left us in awe!)

**Enjoy the world premiere of a striking new work by Canadian composer Nicholas Denton Protsack; with a yet to be announced concerto featuring the Canada Council Michael Measures 1st prize winner; and finally join the 2025 Orchestra for a journey from darkness to light with Mahler’s triumphant Symphony No. 5.

Featuring 92 of Canada’s most talented young musicians — including local Toronto talent!

Today, one-third of Canada’s professional orchestral musicians are alumni of NYO Canada.
