About Us.

The Northern Lights Steel Orchestra, which ordinarily comprises 60 members of all ages from around the globe, plays a wide variety of music from traditional calypsos to classic rock. 

Mervyn T. Jordan established the NLSO in the fall of 1998 as a non-profit organization with the simple goal of promoting the steelpan art form. Having taken this sweet sounding Caribbean instrument beyond a novel form of tropical entertainment, the NLSO delivers an impressive fusion of musical styles for maximum enjoyment while adding a unique bit to the cultural life of the community. The NLSO thrives on being able to share their love of music and the joy it brings.  

GOT A QUESTION?

Q: How did the NLSO start?

 

A: It all started with our founder Mervyn Jordan’s passion for music and desire to share his love of the steel pan with his community. In 1998 he invited a handful of friends to join in this adventure, so the NLSO was born.

Q: Where is the Orchestra from?

 

A: The Orchestra’s Campus is located on the outskirts of Sprucedale, ON, Canada

Q: What is the Orchestra's driving philosophy?

 

A: On the simplest level we quite simply want to share music with everyone. On a deeper level we believe that music is in everyone. We believe that music is uplifting and essential in everyone’s life. It brings us joy to share this unique type of music with our community.

Q: Can I join the NLSO?

 

A: Some of our current and past members used to be fans or audience members. If you’re interested in joining the Orchestra, please contact us at info@nlso.ca.
