About

Sistema New Brunswick has been making great music for over 16 years. Recognized around the world, the program operates youth orchestras in 11 communities across the province, with four regional youth orchestras, all comprising the internationally acclaimed New Brunswick Youth Orchestra. 

Sistema NB serves more than 1,200 children in urban and rural communities in both of Canada’s official languages and gives priority to children who are economically disadvantaged or come from First Nations and newcomer communities.  

The orchestras have commissioned original works, engaged well-known guest artists, toured internationally, and recorded five albums.
