Mission Statement

The Orchestre Métropolitain’s mission is to make classical music accessible to a wide public and to support artists from Canada and encourage young talent from across the country.

Description

The Orchestre Métropolitain was founded in 1981 by some of the finest music graduates from Quebec schools. Today, it now numbers about 60 professional musicians.

Since 2000, the Métropolitain has enjoyed a string of successes under the direction of its current conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

From the very outset, the Métropolitain developed a unique approach founded on an unshakeable determination to democratize classical music by bringing it to people in their neighbourhood. Since its inception, the Métropolitain has made a priority of breaking down economic barriers with a policy that makes tickets affordable to everyone. It has in fact developed the Music Lovers of the Future program, which aims to initiate youths to the world of classical music.

The Métropolitain is also a byword for an invitation to enjoy musical culture through pre-concert talks, and through its conductor who discusses each of the works on the program.
