Happy World Teachers' Day! This year we're celebrating three new woodwind faculty joining NYO Canada in 2027: bassoonist Nadina Mackie, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Principal Bassoon Julia Lockhart and VSO Principal Clarinet Jeanette Jonquil.

Fifty years after her first NYO summer in 1977, Nadina returns to teach alongside her former student Julia, an NYO alum from 1996 and 1997.

Want to learn from them? Auditions are open to musicians aged 16 to 28, and the $50 early-bird fee ends October 7. Swipe to meet our new faculty, and apply at the link: nyoc.org/auditions/application/

Send this to the friend whose repertoire opinions Send this to the friend whose repertoire opinions you’ve heard at length. Repeatedly. The musicians have spoken. We listened. We’re… still processing. Bigger pieces. Fewer pieces. More Mozart. Less Mozart. Mahler. More Canadian works. And one very specific request for How to Train Your Dragon. Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser has the notes. The 2027 repertoire is coming soon. Applications open October 1. Early bird fee ($50) runs October 1–7. Link in bio. #NYO2027 #NYOCanada #Auditions
Donate before Andrés runs into someone. Link in bi Donate before Andrés runs into someone. Link in bio. The NYO Canada team is running the TCS Toronto Waterfront 5K to raise $10,000 for young musicians. That money goes straight into our summer: last year every NYO Canada musician received a scholarship worth over $23,000, plus a $1,500 honorarium. None of them pay tuition. That’s what this is for. Donate, or come run with us - 5K, half, or full. Link in bio. #TCSTorontoWaterfrontMarathon #NYOCanada
