In This Issue:
What an amazing two weeks of music!

Bravo, Powell River, for yet another successful PRISMA season. The musicians, volunteers, audience members, staff and sponsors came together to create what can only be described as a fantastic festival. Thank you!

To wrap up the 2015 season, we'd like to thank our sponsors once again, share some photos and videos and bring to your attention another noteworthy musical event. This August, the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, one of PRISMA's partners, is giving a by-donation concert in Vancouver. Read on for more details on our partnership and the event.

PRISMA and the NYO Canada share the same goal: to provide excellence to music students through first-class teaching and experience. The NYOC recommends that students who are unsuccessful in their application to the NYOC apply to PRISMA. PRISMA supports this initiative by waiving the application fee for these students and allowing them to use the same audition recording as they used for the NYOC. Many PRISMA students are subsequently accepted to the NYOC.

Enjoy the best emerging orchestral artists Canada has to offer as the 2015 chapter of NYO Canada tours the country with renowned maestro Michael Francis. Michael Francis has wowed audiences throughout the world with his expressive style and dynamic performances; he brings this energy and experience to NYO Canada's musicians, igniting enthusiasm and passion in every note.

 

Comprised of 90+ students aged 16-28, NYO Canada brings these musicians together for a 5-week training institute, culminating in the 2015 TD National Tour.

 

NYO Canada provides an unforgettable evening of evocative and expertly played music that captivates audiences from the start. A Canadian Classic since 1960, come and experience tomorrow's brightest musicians in July and August!
