Sink into some seriously relaxing weekend vibes as you experience intimate performances from some of your favourite NAC Orchestra musicians. Surrounded by the acoustic and architectural marvels of the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, you'll feast on music of soaring romance and operatic lyricism.

Ludwig Spohr's Nonet for strings and winds gives each instrument the chance to showcase its unique character in an emotional journey through serenity, shadowy mystery, and joyful dancing.

"I consider it to be the best thing I have ever written," Mozart said of his Quintet for Piano and Winds. From its majestic introduction to a central song of sweet melancholy and a finale filled with piano fireworks, Mozart's quintet makes the heart swoon with operatic lyricism.

Jean Coulthard's playful Pas de deux for flute and bassoon receives a warm homecoming. It was a wedding present for a pair of close friends: Canadian musicians Camille Churchfield and Christopher Millard (retired NACO principal bassoon), when they were both members of the Vancouver Symphony.
