National Arts Centre Orchestra

Today in Canadian history for October the 7th, I'm Joe Berimma.

On this day back in 1969, the National Arts Centre Orchestra gave its first public performance.

The orchestra was performing in one of Canada's newest and premier centres for the performing arts, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.

Over the years, the Centre has held countless performances from all of the performing arts spheres.

Today in Canadian History is produced by CJSW 90.9 FM in Calgary.

Original music for the series is provided by the Fisk, Fletcher and May Trio.

And now, Elaine Clamasco, the first and current first violin of the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

The Old Canada? You bet! ¶¶ ¶¶

Let's move over to Gig Alerts.

First up for Gig Alerts, friend of the show, Jeffrey Broodin has posted some new job openings, including the Houston Opera, or sorry, Houston Grand Opera Orchestra, the West Point Band, The National Arts Center Orchestra, which is in Ottawa, Canada.

So for that one, you have to be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.

There's the Grant Park Music Festival Orchestra in Chicago.
