The National Youth Band of Canada (NYB), Canada's premiere youth wind ensemble, is the most comprehensive music education youth project offered by the Canadian Band Association. Annually since 1994, the National Youth Band of Canada has provided an opportunity for the country's outstanding 16-22 year old musicians to gather for an enriching and inspiring musical and cultural experience. It is an outstanding opportunity to perform under the leadership of a renowned Canadian conductor and a Yamaha Canada featured soloist. The NYB experience also provides each of these young musicians the chance to network with some of the finest instrumentalists from across Canada.
