Our Mission

Orchestras Canada supports, connects, and challenges Canadian orchestras, helping orchestras accomplish together what they cannot do alone, serving Canadian orchestras in both official languages, through research, knowledge-sharing, convening, and advocacy.

About ORCHESTRAS CANADA

Orchestras Canada is the national association for Canadian orchestras, and we proudly serve and represent groups in every Canadian province, including youth and training orchestras, volunteer-driven and community-based smaller budget orchestras, regional and major professional orchestras.

We offer workshops, conferences, and on-line exchange to connect orchestras across the country. Through research and analysis, we help to contextualize orchestras’ many contributions to their communities. We carefully curate the most current resources on orchestras, management, and leadership, and we host an active on-line job board, to ensure that busy people have easy access to the knowledge they need throughout their careers. We are an effective and persistent advocate for orchestras on the national level.
