The orchestra’s mission is to promote the music of the symphony and make it an integral part of the local community. His Artistic Director and Principal Conductor, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, has developed strong relationships with his musicians, trained in Québec, and was instrumental in forging strong ties with the local Montréal community.

It also performs 20 concerts in a dozen of the city’s boroughs, attended by more than 10,000 persons.
