Canadian conductor Jacques Lacombe called Epcor Centre’s Jack Singer Concert Hall “one of the best halls in the country, acoustically.”

Judge the acoustics for yourself tonight at 7:30 as the Juno-nominated National Youth Orchestra performs as part of its three-week TD Music 50th Anniversary National Tour.

Orangizers say that 40 per cent of Canada’s professional orchestra musicians are alumni of the NYOC. In other words, you’ll be wowed by these musicians, aged 16 to 28, as they play Dukas, Stravinsky, and Ravel.

Tickets are $19 and can be purchased at www.cpo-live.com or by phone, 403-571-0849.
