Alain Trudel conducts the CBCRO in its final performance, November 16, 2008

The National Broadcast Orchestra was incorporated in January, 2009 to carry on the spirit of the disbanded CBC Radio Orchestra.  Under the direction of Alain Trudel, the NBO will share orchestral music with all Canadians and champion Canadian composers and musicians through live concerts, recordings and broadcasts.

Like its predecessor, the NBO is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The new orchestra makes its home in the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC.
