The NACO Mentorship Program is a unique side-by-side program that offers exceptional career-development opportunities centred around rehearsals and performances of major contemporary and classic symphonic works with Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra (NACO). The NACO Mentorship Program takes place in the National Arts Centre’s Southam Hall, the University of Ottawa School of Music’s Pérez Hall, and associated internal rehearsal spaces. These venues and spaces are in Ottawa, Canada’s officially bilingual capital city.
