New Brunswick Youth Orchestra’s Canada 150 celebration is titled Oh Canada: A Young 150! and will also feature choirs from across the region.
They will gather at John Caldwell School in Grand Falls for a series of assemblies on Oct. 13.
Jim Tranquilla, the orchestra’s director of community engagement, said two 50-minute assemblies will be held at the school for students in grades 3 to 12.
Students will be part of choirs that will perform the song “Sea to Sea,” with the youth chamber orchestra at each assembly.
The piece was written specially for the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra by celebrated Canadian composer Howard Shore, well-known for a vast body of work that includes the score for the Lord of the Rings films.
Students who perform in the choirs during the assemblies will also be invited to sing at a youth orchestra concert on the weekend.
The full orchestra will be at the McCain Community Theatre at Woodstock High School on Sunday, Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. and everyone is welcome.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and are available at the Ayr Motor Centre or at the door the day of the concert.
