Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain launches its season with a Bruckner Ninth that includes both an orchestral introduction and a choral finale. 

Although both Bernstein's Jeremiah Symphony and Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise explore the role religion plays in the cultivation of the human spirit, they are in many aspects sharply contrasting works. This made for an appealing concert by Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain and their conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

A Christmas concert from some fine choirs warmed the hearts of their Montréal audience.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the chorus and several soloists star in a dramatic version of Bach's St Matthew Passion in which l'Orchestre Métropolitain was less distinguished.
