Education Programs

Apprentice dancers from the National Ballet of Canada will join the TBSO, conducted by Resident Conductor Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, for four live performances at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium.
TBSOpened
The TBSOpened program allows students and other visitors to experience an open dress rehearsal, observing how a first-class orchestra puts together a first-class concert.
MIC – Musicians in the Classroom
Designed to bring the concert hall to your school, the Musicians in the Classroom project brings the TBSO right to your school! Les presentations se feront aussi en français.
CIC – Conductor in the Classroom
What does a conductor do? How does an orchestra behind the scenes? These questions and more are answered when one of the TBSO’s very own conductors visits your classroom. Les presentations se feront aussi en français.
TBSO Youth Ambassadors
The TBSO Youth Ambassadors are a group of students, hand-picked by their schools, to represent their school as part of a Student Board that advises the TBSO on its student educational initiatives and helps us stay in touch with the needs of today’s youth at a grassroots level.
