François A. Ouimet and Pierre Tourville are the chorus masters for the preparation of various programs and the conducting of certain concerts. Comprising around 100 members, the Choir joins the Orchestre Métropolitain during its regular seasons to perform the great works of the repertoire. Along with the Orchestre’s musicians under the leadership of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Choir has delivered memorable performances of Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass, Bruckner’s Mass No. 3 in F minor and Wagner’s opera Lohengrin at the Festival de Lanaudière, Dvořák’s Stabat Mater, Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion and Verdi’s Requiem. These performances have earned the Choir high praise from critics. Over the years, the Choir has performed with many internationally renowned singers, including Diana Damrau, Renée Fleming, Karina Gauvin, Maria Guleghina, Marc Hervieux, Hiromi Omura, Henriette Schellenberg, Bryn Terfel, Julie Boulianne, Heidi Melton, Andrew Foster-Williams, Karen Cargill and other great voices from here and elsewhere.
