The Orchestre Métropolitain 2026 Summer Season
OM ALFRESCO : A Symphonic Summer Shining from Saint-Sauveur to the foot of mount Royal, from Lanaudière to Charlevoix!
True to its mission of bringing music to as many people as possible and continuing its meaningful connection with communities across Montreal and Quebec, the Orchestre Métropolitain (OM) and its Artistic Director and Principal Conductor, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, will travel throughout the province this summer. Together, they will present a series of outdoor and indoor concerts for audiences of all ages and backgrounds — from seasoned music lovers to curious newcomers alike!
