Jean-Marie Zeitouni

Jean-Marie Zeitouni is a Canadian conductor known for his dynamic versatility and knack for bringing fresh energy to everything from Baroque gems to lush Romantic operas and contemporary works. Born in France and raised in Montreal, he’s built a career leading major orchestras like I Musici de Montréal, the Columbus Symphony, and Orchestre Métropolitain, blending precision with emotional depth. The releases you’ve listed—like his gripping take on Strauss’s *Metamorphosen* paired with Pärt’s haunting Fourth Symphony, or his vibrant interpretations of Piazzolla’s tango-infused *Estaciones porteñas*—show off his range. He’s equally at home navigating Massenet’s operatic drama (*Grisélidis*) or Bartók’s folk-inspired rhythms, proving he’s a maestro who thrives on eclectic challenges. Zeitouni’s work often feels like a conversation between tradition and innovation, delivered with a conductor’s baton and a collaborator’s heart.
