About Bernard

Principal Conductor: Orchestra of St. Luke's Music Director: La Chapelle de Québec

Bernard Labadie is widely regarded as one of the world's leading conductors of Baroque and Classical repertoire. He founded Les Violons du Roy based in his hometown of Québec City and, following three decades as their Music Director, he returns regularly as Conductor Laureate. He continues to be Music Director of his extraordinary choir, La Chapelle de Québec, which he founded in 1985. In 2018 he became Principal Conductor of the Orchestra of St. Luke's in New York, heading their prestigious Carnegie Hall series.

This season, he makes his debut with the Bamberger Symphoniker and returns to the NDR Hannover for Bach's Christmas Oratorio, to the Orchestre National de Lyon for Bach and Handel, and to the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg for Rameau, Gluck, Kraus and Haydn. Among his many U.S. appearances, he returns to the Cleveland Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony and San Diego Symphony Orchestra.

Bernard is based in Quebec
