His musical career began after he studied piano and was awarded five first prizes at the Conservatory of Music of Quebec. Yannick NÃ©zet-SÃ©guin took choral conducting courses at Princeton University in New Jersey, then spent a year as assistant to Carlo Maria Giulini, whom he considered his master. He directed choirs in Montreal, forming his own ensemble, La Chapelle de MontrÃ©al, which lasted from 1995 until 2002. Yannick NÃ©zet-SÃ©guin served as assistant conductor at the OpÃ©ra de MontrÃ©al between 1998 and 2002 before taking the position of principal conductor of the Orchestre MÃ©tropolitain in 2000, where his contract has been extended for life.
