The National Arts Centre Orchestra (NACO), under the baton of the world-renowned Pinchas Zukerman, is one of the world's finest classical orchestras. By supporting the National Arts Centre Orchestra, you are making a solid investment in the future of music in Canada.
To add glittering excitement to the May 31st “Verdi’s Requiem” concert, the Friends of the National Arts Centre Orchestra is hosting a very exclusive, luxury silent auction, featuring an impressive and inspired array of extraordinary and very unique donated items from across around the world. We are proud that many of our magnificent auction items have never before been donated to a Canadian charity event!
