C\u2019est avec le plus grand regret que l\u2019Orchestre national des jeunes du Canada (NYO Canada) annonce qu\u2019\u00e0 cause d\u2019inqui\u00e9tudes quant \u00e0 la propagation du coronavirus, l\u2019orchestre 2020 ne se rendra pas en Europe pour les concerts pr\u00e9vus en Allemagne, en Slov\u00e9nie et en Croatie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab Cette d\u00e9cision a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise par souci de prot\u00e9ger la sant\u00e9 et le bien-\u00eatre de nos musiciennes et musiciens, explique Kevin Latimer, pr\u00e9sident du conseil d\u2019administration. Bien que nous soyons tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7us de ne pas pouvoir nous rassembler avec nos amis et nos publics en Europe cette ann\u00e9e, nous devons agir avec pr\u00e9caution. Nous allons de l\u2019avant avec l\u2019institut de formation et la tourn\u00e9e canadienne, et nous explorons la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019y ajouter quelques concerts. \u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u2019orchestre, qui c\u00e9l\u00e8bre ses 60 ans en 2020, devait pr\u00e9senter trois concerts en Allemagne, Slov\u00e9nie et Croatie au cours des deux premi\u00e8res semaines d\u2019ao\u00fbt. Ayant un arr\u00eat pr\u00e9vu \u00e0 Venise lors du retour, et avec la progression du coronavirus dans le nord de l\u2019Italie, nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019effectuer ce changement \u00e0 titre pr\u00e9ventif. L\u2019orchestre poursuivra son institut estival de formation \u00e0 Kitchener-Waterloo et sa tourn\u00e9e canadienne qui englobe Parry Sound, Stratford, Ottawa, Kingston, Montr\u00e9al et Toronto. Nous continuons de surveiller l\u2019\u00e9tat actuel du coronavirus et communiquerons des mises \u00e0 jour si d\u2019autres changements s\u2019av\u00e8rent n\u00e9cessaires.

We didn\u2019t want anyone exposed to additional risk, either from the virus or from being stranded in a foreign country due to transportation disruptions,\u201d said Kevin Latimer, Board Chair. \u201cWe\u2019re obviously disappointed we won\u2019t be performing in Europe this year, but we need to err on the side of caution. We are going forward with the summer training institute as planned and exploring the possibility of adding more concerts to our Canadian tour.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Orchestra, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2020, had been scheduled to travel through Venice to play three engagements in Germany, Slovenia, and Croatia in early August. Given the impact of the coronavirus in Northern Italy, we have decided to cancel these concerts in light of the health risks associated with travel in this region, and the unpredictability of the scale of the coronavirus at the time of our concert dates. The Orchestra will still proceed with its summer training institute in Kitchener-Waterloo, as well as a Canadian tour which visits Parry Sound, Stratford, Ottawa, Kingston, Montreal, and Toronto. We are continuing to monitor the ongoing situation around coronavirus and will provide updates if any further changes are necessary. Emerging details will be posted on nyoc.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe know Canadians and the whole musical community will understand this change and why we had to make it,\u201d said CEO Barbara Smith. \u201cWhile we hope the situation will improve, we must take into consideration the health and safety of our musicians and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on the status of coronavirus, please consult the World Health Organization<\/a> and Government of Canada<\/a> websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
