As one of Quebec's leading cultural ambassadors since 1981, the Orchestre Métropolitain has forged a unique bond with the people of Quebec, bringing to life projects where emotion and excellence reign supreme. Whether at the Maison symphonique de Montréal or throughout the city, every event is an opportunity to thrill the audience.
For the past 25 years, the Orchestra has grown alongside his principal conductor and artistic director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, to offer a bold, modern and contemporary programming. This shared vision has led the conductor and his orchestra to sign a lifetime contract, a rarity in the history of music, enabling them to develop a unique, distinct and assertive personality.
The Orchestra's mission is also to awaken children to music, cultivate a passion for music in young people and support up-and-coming musicians. Through its many cultural and educational initiatives, such as school activities, its OMNI music competition and its Conductors Academy, which enables Yannick Nézet-Séguin to pass on his art to the next generation of conductors, the Orchestra forges an engaging relationship with its community, young and old alike.
We, at Power Corporation, are proud of our association with the Orchestre Métropolitain. We take delight in their artistic leadership and their vital contribution to the vibrancy of the musical scene in Montréal and beyond.
