Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Richard Wagner's 'Lohengrin' will air at noon on Saturday on WRTI 90.1 FM and at wrti.org.

What do great conductors listen to when they're not on the podium? Nézet-Séguin made a playlist, specifically for Fresh Air, of music that inspires him (plus one of his cats' favorite songs).

"Fly Eagles Fly" has been an anthem for the fans — and a few leading cultural institutions, starting with The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s contract at The Philadelphia Orchestra has been extended through 2030. He talked with WRTI's Susan Lewis about the news, and his bond with a city that loves him back.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and The Crossing are among the winners in the classical field at the 65th Grammy Awards.

The Philadelphia Orchestra will revisit beloved classics, premiere new commissions and welcome an array of distinguished guest artists in its new season, announced today.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Valerie Coleman’s Umoja: Anthem for Unity and Dvořák's Symphony No. 8. In between, pianist Daniil Trifonov is featured in Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1.
