The North York Concert Orchestra (NYCO) is dedicated to the quality performance of classical music by encouraging participation and development among a large community membership, and appreciation and enrichment for a broad public. NYCO supports a diverse and talented membership of over 60 musicians who perform in the NYCO, the NYCO Chamber Orchestra, and the NYCO Chamber Players. We are complemented by a volunteer production team. Professional string section leaders and Music Director and Conductor, Rafael Luz, provide the guidance, training and inspiration for NYCO to achieve excellence. NYCO offers audiences of all ages exposure to classical music, and musicians of all ages exciting performance opportunities. The NYCO offers an affordable four-concert subscription series at the Yorkminster Citadele, just at the intersection of Yonge and 401. Additionally, NYCO performs to a broad audience through impactful outreach and community programs throughout the city. To further meet our goal of bringing classical music to the community, the NYCO Chamber Orchestra and NYCO Chamber Players perform an education concert series in schools and community centres across Toronto. The NYCO represents the universal value of music, and is a precious, impactful alternative to the culture of professional music in Canada. We believe music is for everyone!
