The durable National Arts Centre Orchestra of Canada has championed works by Canadian composers. The group has a substantial recording catalog and also performs and records non-Canadian music. The National Arts Centre Orchestra was established in 1969 in Ottawa, Ontario. It was founded in conjunction with the opening of the National Arts Centre itself. The group's first music director was Jean-Marie Beaudet, who remained in his post until 1971. The current music director as of the mid-2020s is Alexander Shelley. An early digital recording by the NAC Orchestra appeared in 1986, featuring works by Schubert and Richard Strauss. The group also has a principal guest conductor, John Storgårds (as of the mid-2020s), and a pops conductor, currently Jack Everly. A major part of the orchestra's activities has consisted of the commissioning and performance of new music; the group has commissioned more than 90 new works.
