In this edition of the BaladOCNA, Marjolaine talks with trumpet player Manon Lafrance about life as a freeelance musician. We also take a fun look at how some large orchestral instruments travel (and how some orchestral musicians nap on tour).

Each episode, Marjolaine Laroche (assistant principal double bass, NAC Orchestra) takes you backstage for an intimate, at times irreverent look at the day-to-day life of the orchestral musician. As a regular part of the series, Marjolaine chats with her orchestra colleagues and visiting guest artists on topics ranging from auditions to international touring. (In French)
