In September 2018, he became the third Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera (MET) in New York in addition to his ongoing duties as Music Director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, where he has served since 2012.
The Orchestre Métropolitain (OM) is one of Quebec's key cultural ambassadors. Since its inception in 1981, the OM has set the bar high, building a unique relationship with the community through highimpact initiatives.
Over the past 20 years, the Orchestre has grown alongside its artistic director and principal conductor, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whose career continues to reach new heights. The winner of multiple national awards, the OM has recorded some 20 performances with ATMA Classique.
"No question, these are beautiful performances, beautifully recorded. Over and again, Yannick Nezet-Seguin opens up Sibelius's multi-layered textures in fresh and illuminating ways" – BBC Music Magazine (Recording 5 STARS, Performance 4 STARS)
"I would not have had Nézet-Séguin down as a natural Sibelian, and I would have been completely wrong […]. A Wagnerian melos imbues the conductor's handling of Sibelius's syntax throughout, and [the Fourth] emerges all the more strongly for it." – Gramophone
"In excellent sound, and with equally fine and responsive, Yannick Nézet-Séguin proves to be a distinguished conductor of Sibelius, and these two Symphonies are big tests of interpretative mettle." – Colin Anderson
