The orchestra announced Tuesday that its acclaimed conductor will stay on through the 2015-16 season. The French Canadian Lacombe, 48, has been in that position since 2010.
"My experiences as Music Director of the NJSO over the past two seasons have been both enjoyable and creatively stimulating," said Lacombe in a press release.
"I am thrilled to extend my relationship with the NJSO, and I look forward to continuing to present captivating programs and to interacting with the audiences and communities of New Jersey," Lacombe added.
Under Lacombe, the orchestra gave a successful Carnegie Hall concert in 2011-12 season.
