NYO Canada is with Christie Gray and Andrés Nicolas Tucci Clarke at NYO Canada.
3 days ago

We took the long way to Koerner Hall 🎶🏃‍♀️

For our virtual 5K with the Toronto Waterfront Marathon TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, the NYO Canada team mapped a route through Toronto’s music landmarks. We started at the Toronto Music Garden, waved at CBC on the way to Roy Thomson Hall, then carried on to the Four Seasons Centre and Massey Hall.

From there we found The Sound Post, cut through Philosopher’s Walk, said hi to U of T’s Faculty of Music, and crossed our finish line at Koerner Hall.

Final watch count: 6 km. Final vibe: tired but happy.

Thanks to an anonymous donor matching $5,000, we’ve passed our goal and raised $10,887.78 for 2027 scholarships. So that talented young musicians can join NYO Canada whatever their finances look like. Thank you to everyone who gave, ran, walked, and cheered. 💛

No no no, it’s fine. We’ve only been working on th No no no, it’s fine. We’ve only been working on this summer program for a year. It only has a 67-year history. Go somewhere else. It’s FIIIIIINNNNNEEEE 🎃 *For legal reasons, this is a joke. **But seriously, it’s important to try other programs. You can’t just do NYO over and over and over and over and over and over again until you age out. We get it. Really. We do. It’s fine. Go on, get outta here. (NYO Canada 2027 applications are open until February 1. Link in bio. Just saying.) Happy Halloween from NYO Canada 👻 #NYO2027 #NYOCanada #Halloween
