Undisrupted Explained

Undisrupted is a Canadian television series, which premiered in August 2021 on CBC Gem.^[1] Created in conjunction with the National Arts Centre, the series commissioned four figures in Canadian classical and opera music to create and perform a half-hour symphonic work with the National Arts Centre Orchestra.^[2]

The series was created by Donna Feore and Alexander Shelley, in part as a response to the NAC's inability to stage traditional theatre shows during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.^[3]
