Eric Friesen presents the NAC Orchestra

Canada's National Arts Centre

How did the NAC Orchestra become the world class organization it is today?

With his charming personality and a host of probing questions, he interviews conductors, orchestral musicians, guest artists and administrators about the Orchestra’s beginnings, the challenges it faced, the tours it made all over Canada and to many foreign lands, and the kind of individuals it took to mold the Orchestra into what it is today.
