Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc., announced the continuation of the extraordinary partnership of Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra with the extension of Nézet-Séguin’s contract through 2030, and the expansion of his title to music and artistic director.
  
  Currently in his 11th season as music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin holds an original and unique place in the American musical landscape. He has proven to be both an evolutionary and a revolutionary, developing the mighty “Philadelphia Sound” in new ways in collaboration with the great musicians of the Orchestra. He has built the Orchestra through the hiring of 23 world-class musicians since the start of his tenure. Together, Nézet-Séguin and the Orchestra have commissioned an astonishing 37 works from international composers, including Gabriela Lena Frank, who will conclude her four-year tenure as composer-in-residence with the Orchestra following this season, and Valerie Coleman, who has received her fourth commission from the Orchestra, to be premiered next season.
