Orchestre classique de Montréal has anbnounced the appointment of Canadian-Romanian conductor Andrei Feher (*1991) as Music Director. In 2018, at age 26, Feher was appointed Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, making him one of the youngest to lead a major Canadian orchestra. His contract as the Music Director was extended until the end of the 2026-27 season but abruptly ended in the fall of 2023 due to the symphony’s bankruptcy.
« It’s an enormous privilege and pleasure to be able to begin this new chapter with the passionate musicians of the Orchestre classique de Montréal. My recent experience with the Orchestra has been a real coup de coeur, and I can’t wait to share our common love of music with the Montreal community, » says Andrei Feher.
