W1 Developments is proud to support Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra UK tour
Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra, led by its renowned Music Director Pinchas Zukerman, tours the UK in autumn 2014 to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War and demonstrate the power of music as a force for healing and remembrance.The tour celebrates the strong ties between the UK and Canada, and commemorates the contribution of Canadians during the Great War, a pivotal moment when Canada came of age as a nation.
The tour will include works by esteemed Canadian composers, including John Estacio, who accompanies the orchestra on this tour and appears in preconcert events.
In addition to performances around the UK, there will be a robust education programme with activities linking young people in the UK and Canada, using music to underline themes of remembrance and reconciliation.
