His highly collaborative style, deeply-rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called Yannick “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton “the ensemble … has never sounded better.” In his first season he took the Orchestra to new musical heights. His second builds on that momentum with highlights that include a Philadelphia Commissions Micro-Festival, for which three leading composers have been commissioned to write solo works for three of the Orchestra’s principal players; the next installment in his multi-season focus on requiems with Fauré’s Requiem; and a unique, theatrically-staged presentation of Strauss’s revolutionary opera Salome, a first-ever co-production with Opera Philadelphia. Yannick has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most exciting talents of his generation. Since 2008 he has been music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, and since 2000 artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain. In addition he becomes the first ever mentor conductor of the Curtis Institute of Music’s conducting fellows program in the fall of 2013. He has made wildly successful appearances with the world’s most revered ensembles, and has conducted critically acclaimed performances at many of the leading opera houses. Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Deutsche Grammophon (DG) enjoy a long-term collaboration. Under his leadership the Orchestra returns to recording with a newly-released CD on that label of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring and Leopold Stokowski transcriptions. Yannick continues a fruitful recording relationship with the Rotterdam Philharmonic for DG, BIS, and EMI/Virgin; the London Philharmonic for the LPO label; and the Orchestre Métropolitain for ATMA Classique. A native of Montreal, Yannick Nézet-Séguin studied at that city’s Conservatory of Music and continued lessons with renowned conductor Carlo Maria Giulini and with Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College. Among Yannick’s honors are an appointment as Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honors; a Royal Philharmonic Society Award; Canada’s National Arts Centre Award; the Prix Denise- Pelletier, the highest distinction for the arts in Quebec, awarded by the Quebec government; and an honorary doctorate by the University of Quebec in Montreal.

He made his international debut in 1995 at the Wexford Festival conducting Rimsky-Korsakov’s May Night, and the same year made his debut at the Royal Opera House with Verdi’s Nabucco. Mr. Jurowski was appointed principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic in 2003 and became principal conductor in September 2007. From 2001 to 2013 he served as music director of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. He also holds the titles of principal artist of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and artistic director of the Russian State Academic Symphony. As a guest he has conducted many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Berlin and Vienna philharmonics, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Boston and Chicago symphonies, and the Dresden Staatskapelle. Recent and upcoming performance highlights include debuts with the New York Philharmonic and the NHK and San Francisco symphonies; tours with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra; and return visits to the Cleveland Orchestra, the Berlin Radio Symphony, and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. Mr. Jurowski made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1999 with Verdi’s Rigoletto and has since returned for Janácˇek’s Jenu˚fa, Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades, Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, and, in 2013, Strauss’s Die Frau ohne Schatten. Mr. Jurowski’s discography includes the first-ever recording of the cantata Exile by Giya Kancheli for ECM, Meyerbeer’s L’Étoile du Nord for Marco Polo, Massenet’s Werther for BMG, and a series of records for PentaTone with the Russian National Orchestra. The London Philharmonic has released a wide selection of his live recordings on its LPO Live label. His tenure at Glyndebourne has been documented in CD releases of Rossini’s La Cenerentola, Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde, and Prokofiev’s Betrothal in a Monastery, as well as DVD releases of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, Johann Strauss Jr.’s Die Fledermaus, Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and Rachmaninoff’s The Miserly Knight, all released by Medici Arts. 26 Soloist Jack Van Antwerp Van Jack Canadian-born Jeffrey Khaner has been principal flute of The Philadelphia Orchestra since 1990. From 1982 to 1990 he was principal flute of the Cleveland Orchestra, and he has also served as principal of New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival and the Atlantic Symphony in Halifax, and as co-principal of the Pittsburgh Symphony. He has performed concertos with orchestras throughout the U.S., Canada, and Asia, collaborating with conductors including Riccardo Chailly, Christoph von Dohnányi, Charles Dutoit, Christoph Eschenbach, Hans Werner Henze, Erich Leinsdorf, Kurt Masur, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Franz Welser-Möst, and David Zinman; he made his Philadelphia Orchestra solo debut in July 1981. Mr. Khaner’s concerto repertoire is extensive, and he has premiered many works, including the concerto by Ned Rorem written for him in 2003. As a recitalist he has appeared on four continents. He regularly incorporates into his programs the music of today’s composers, many of whom have written expressly for him. Mr. Khaner is a founding member of the Syrinx Trio (violist Roberto Díaz and Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Harp Elizabeth Hainen), which made its Carnegie Hall debut in 2001 at Weill Recital Hall. A graduate of the Juilliard School, Mr. Khaner was named to the faculty as flute professor in 2004, holding the position formerly occupied by his mentor, Julius Baker. Since 1985 he has been a faculty member of the Curtis Institute; he is also on the faculty of Lynn University in Boca Raton.
