Exceptionally talented and gifted musicians from all across Canada, the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, is on their national tour and performed yesterday at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. A great bill included Wagner’s Overture to the Flying Dutchman, Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes and Debussy’s La Mer. I’ll interviewed two great local talents after the performance, to discover a behind-the-scenes sense of life as a aspiring and young musician and the rigors of “orchestral boot camp”- consisting of intensive training sessions that includes private lessons, career development workshops and full orchestral rehearsals, from 8am-10pm in the months of June to August.
