Board President Tanya Derksen<\/a><\/h3>

... summarized some of the key events of the past year- from the national conference at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa through to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. She expressed her gratitude to the OC team led by Katherine Carleton, the board members and the Canadian orchestral community, who \u201cshow up day after day to support bringing transformational music and programming to communities and people across the country.\u201d Tanya also presented OC\u2019s new one-year strategic plan<\/a>\n. OC\u2019s theme for the year is Resilience - and our commitment is to support orchestras with a specific focus on knowledge sharing, digital, and inclusion and diversity.<\/p><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
