Montreal driver Yannick Nezet-Seguin was among multiple Canadian Grammy winners on Sunday, bringing home the award for best orchestral performance.
The Philadelphia Orchestra director was awarded as conductor of “Price: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3,” an album containing the works of 20th century African-American composer Florence Price.
Alongside his win for best orchestral performance, Nezet-Seguin was also nominated for best opera recording and best classical solo vocal album.
Although Nezet-Seguin did not accept his award in person, he took to Instagram to celebrate the news.
“MY FIRST GRAMMY!!!!” he wrote, extending congratulations to fellow nominees.
The Quebec-native is currently in his 10th season as music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra, and has also served as director of New York’s Metropolitan Opera.
