Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra is renowned for its passionate performances, innovative learning and engagement programs, and steadfast support of Canadian creativity. Based in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, it has grown into one of the country’s most dynamic ensembles since its founding in 1969. Under the leadership of Music Director Alexander Shelley, the NAC Orchestra reflects the fabric and values of Canada through inclusive programming, compelling storytelling, and visionary partnerships. Since assuming the role in 2015, Shelley has shaped the Orchestra’s artistic vision, building on the legacy of his predecessor, Pinchas Zukerman, who led the ensemble for 16 seasons. Shelley has championed new works by Canadian composers and expanded the Orchestra’s reach through tours, livestreams, and critically acclaimed recordings. Recent projects include a recording series pairing new Canadian compositions with tone poems by Richard Strauss. In fall 2025, the Orchestra announced an exciting new chapter with the appointment of world-renowned Finnish conductor John Storgårds as its next Music Director, beginning in the 2026–2027 season. Storgårds, who has served as Principal Guest Conductor since 2015, is a beloved member of the NAC Orchestra family. Over the past decade, he has led countless unforgettable concerts, showcased daring new music, and developed a rare chemistry with the musicians. The Orchestra regularly collaborates with performers of global renown, including James Ehnes, Angela Hewitt, Renée Fleming, Hilary Hahn, Jeremy Dutcher, Jan Lisiecki, Ray Chen, and Yeol Eum Son. These partnerships underscore the Orchestra’s reputation as a destination for world-class musicians and a home for the next generation of artists.
