Bernard Labadie
The New York based chamber ensemble Orchestra of St. Luke’s has announced the appointment of French Canadian conductor Bernard Labadie as its next Principal Conductor, beginning a four-year term in the 2018-19 season. This transition includes a new role at St. Luke’s for sitting principal Pablo Heras-Casado, who will be Conductor Laureate in acknowledgement of his years of leadership.
Bernard Labadie resigned as Music Director of the Canadian ensemble Les Violons du Roy in 2014 due to an unstable heath situation. Three years later he obviously is fit enough to take new responsibilities.
