ABOUT THE NEW BRUNSWICK YOUTH ORCHESTRA
The New Brunswick Youth Orchestra (NBYO) engages the province’s most talented musicians, providing the opportunity to build their musicianship by learning and performing orchestral music. Each season, the NBYO admits, by audition, 80 young musicians, many of whom will further their musical studies at universities and conservatories. Some will go on to teach and perform as professional musicians.
As validation of its musical excellence, in 2008 the NBYO won an East Coast Music Award for Classical Recording of the Year, and in 2011, first place in the orchestra division of the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Competition in Vienna, Austria.
The NBYO has commissioned works and toured and performed internationally including: Carnegie Hall, New York; Auditorium Paganini, Parma, Italy; Forbidden City Concert Hall, Beijing, China; Musikverein, Vienna, Austria; and Smetana Hall, Prague, Czech Republic.
In 2014 the NBYO commissioned an original work to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, with the World Premiere performed in Vienna, Austria. In 2017 the NBYO commissioned an original work to celebrate Canada’s 150 birthday, by multiple Oscar winner, ‘Lord of the Rings’ composer Howard Shore. The world premiere in Moncton, NB drew an audience of 7,500 and continued with performances at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and Maison Symphonique de Montréal.
The NBYO tours throughout New Brunswick each year, commissions original works, engages well known guest artists. The NBYO enjoys large and growing audiences, has won numerous awards and prizes and is recognized as one of the most accomplished youth orchestras in Canada.
Social Outreach and Innovation
The NBYO has also been a social innovator, launching Sistema NB in 2009, a free daily after-school program that uses music and the orchestra as a means to create social change for children who otherwise would not have the opportunity. Today, Sistema NB engages more than 1,100 children, 3 hours daily, 5 days/week, in nine orchestra centres throughout the province. Sistema NB is the largest program of its kind in Canada. In March 2015 the NBYO received the Prime Ministers Award for Social Innovation for the work and leadership in Canada of its Sistema NB program. NBYO is lead by Conductor and Music Director, Antonio Delgado.
