This is such a great piece and it was played so well. That tuba solo at 6:40 was just amazing, played like it was a concerto. I saw you guys play at the NAC and it was a professional ensemble playing and the encores were just so much fun. I'm making the audition this year and hopefully i could make it.
Excellent. THanks for posting, since I live in Courtenay on Vancouver Island and can't afford to get to many concerts. Nanaimo does have an orchestra and there is a CYMC orchestra in the Comox Valley. I heart the latter this past weekend, and I noticed that they lacked a certain energy that was evident in my husband's music. Even in gentle music there is an element of energy that was lacking in the CYMC performance.
It's great that I can hear this orchestra. I first saw them in the 1960s playing in the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, BC. I later married one of the founding members, Michael Crosbie, oboe (1960).
Yes, well I'm a nice enough guy to shoot video of the fantastic performance and toss it up on youtube for people to watch! I pity the people who don't goto the NYOC shows because they think it's like watching some regular old youth orchestra, yet, they put almost every major orchestra in Canada to shame with their performances.
@mmcrosbie Thanks for this upload. I played with the NYO in 1968 and 1969 and it was the largest musical experience of my life for many years to come. I still compare professional work to it...What does it say about our Canadian culture if the only orchestras which can play with vitality, feeling, and technical expertise is an orchestra made up of young people?
Excellent!

The tuba part was really amazing, but I also give credit to the bassoons who played in unison with the tuba during that part around the 6:40 mark.

I'm pretty sure it was Bobby Ford playing it, she's an amazing tuba player.
