Thirteen Strings is a chamber orchestra in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1976 by Brian Law, then conductor of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, who led the ensemble until 1991. Its initial members were drawn from the National Arts Centre Orchestra. The performances are often supplemented by vocal or instrumental soloists. Jean-François Rivest was the Artistic Director from 1999 to 2006. The present Artistic Director is Kevin Mallon. The ensemble performs in such venues as St Andrew's Presbyterian Church and Dominion-Chalmers United Church. Thirteen strings also organizes Junior Thirteen Strings, which consists of Ottawa region teen string players ages 12–17 carefully selected to play with the Thirteen Strings in a concert during their regular season.
