In a media conference 22nd March, in Montréal, the Orchestre Métropolitain announced Julian Kuerti as their first-ever Principal Guest Conductor of the orchestra. Following immense critical and public acclaim of his interpretation of Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin with the orchestra in April 2012, a unanimous decision amongst the musicians, administration and Yannick Nézet-Séguin was made to bring Kuerti back in a designated role as Principal Guest Conductor.
