Montreal Symphony Orchestra Names Kent Nagano as Conductor Emeritus
Along with Wilfrid Pelletier and Zubin Mehta, Nagano is being honored for his contributions to the ensemble, the city of Montreal, and the province of Quebec. “It is with deep feeling and great pride that I welcome the decision by the OSM’s Board of Directors to appoint me Conductor Emeritus of this great Orchestra," Nagano wrote on his website. "I am deeply moved by this decision. I wish to thank Lucien Bouchard, Madeleine Careau, all other members of the Board of Directors, as well as all my brilliant OSM colleagues for this honor, which even further strengthens my attachment toward Montreal and the province of Quebec.”
