David Reiland to leave Metz in 2027
David Reiland, who is principal guest conductor of the Sinfonietta Lausanne, will step down as music director of the Orchestre national de Metz Grand Est in 2027.
The Belgian Reiland shaped the orchestra for nine seasons, writes the online magazine Pizzicato.lu in its press release. Founded in 1976, the Orchestre national de Metz Grand Est (previously Orchestre philharmonique de Lorraine, Philharmonie de Lorraine and, until 2018, Orchestre national de Lorraine) has 72 members and gives around 90 concerts a year. In 2002, it was awarded the "Orchestre national en région" label by the French Ministry of Culture.
David Reiland was artistic and musical director of the Orchester de Chambre du Luxembourg from 2012 to 2018 and has been music director of the Korean National Symphony Orchestra since 2021. As the first guest of the Sinfonietta Lausanne and Schumann guest of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra, he also works closely with these orchestras.
