In With the New: a Golden Age of creativity

vendredi 4 octobre 2019 • Durée 45:14

With a revived commitment to commissioning and performing new music and particularly new Canadian music the NAC Orchestra is more creatively active than ever. All the forces are working in harmony - from the board, the senior administration, the creative leaders, and all who sail with the NAC- understand their mission of being Canada’s Stage, of being a truly national artistic institution, and what it takes to make it so, and to make it of value to the entire country.

jeudi 3 octobre 2019 • Durée 39:24

NAC Administrators and music lovers answer the question "Why is it important to have a national orchestra?"

The Pinnock Years and a Memorable Principal Guest Conductor

vendredi 3 juillet 2009 • Durée 57:02

Through much of the 1990’s, the NAC Orchestra was led by the baroque and classical specialist from England, Trevor Pinnock. This was a time of continued financial challenges for the NAC, but Trevor Pinnock was not only a superb musician, but a man of great character and helped heal the ravages of the late 1980’s. The NAC Orchestra also shows its flexibility as gifted and colourful Principal Guest Conductor Franz Paul Decker leads them into the territory of Richard Strauss, Paul Hindemith, Jean Sibelius and Johannes Brahms.

The Eighties: Mannino and Chmura

jeudi 2 juillet 2009 • Durée 57:37

After 13 years under Bernardi, the NAC Orchestra’s new leader was another Italian: Franco Mannino. Where Bernardi had been all northern Italy - cold blue light, Mannino was all southern Italy - red hot light. Listen to the smiles that come into the voices of those who remember Mannino. Then a darkness descends on the NAC as financial woes threaten the orchestra and its ambitious programs, and the orchestra goes on strike. The young Polish Israel conductor, Gabriel Chmura, succeeds Mannino, but his stay in Ottawa is short-lived.

The players speak: Backstage with the NAC Orchestra musicians

mercredi 2 octobre 2019 • Durée 43:42

Eric speaks with the players themselves about this decade of transition, the 5th decade of the NAC Orchestra. Musicians share what brought them to Ottawa and why they continue to stay. This orchestra is special, not just for the quality of its performances night after night, year after year, decade after decade, but that quality is built on something quite unusual in an orchestra - a positive culture - a sense of family that isn’t in every orchestra, that’s for sure.

mercredi 8 juillet 2009 • Durée 01:08:42

This is the story of the composers from the last two decades of the 20th century.

Composers from other countries continued to find Canada a welcome home.
