National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada

National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada

The National Broadcast Orchestra is a Canadian orchestra based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Created after the CBC Radio Orchestra was disbanded in November, 2008,[1] the National Broadcast Orchestra (NBO) was founded by conductor Alain Trudel and businessman Philippe Labelle.[2] It was incorporated in January, 2009[3] and was granted charitable status under the Canada Revenue Agency in July, 2009.[4]

In its new form, the NBO reaches beyond the boundaries of traditional radio broadcasting, utilizing the Internet as its primary tool for connecting with audiences.[5] The NBO is dedicated to presenting the work of Canadian composers and artists.[6] Activities begin in the fall of 2009 with a pilot project in digital video recording at the Chan Centre.[7] The orchestra's first concert was performed on Saltspring Island, British Columbia, on September 16, 2009 [8] and its official debut in its home venue, Vancouver's Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, took place on January 8, 2010.[9]
