Born June 13, 1966 in Montreal, he made his solo trombone debut at just 18 with the Montreal Symphony under the baton of Charles Dutoit. A pioneering figure in Canadian music, Trudel became the first Canadian to be named a Yamaha international artist, with Yamaha recognizing his influence through hats-tips and a mouthpiece named in his honor. He currently holds prominent roles including Music Director of the Toledo Symphony, Artistic Director of the Brott Music Festival, and Music Director of l’Orchestre Symphonique de Laval. He has also served as Principal Youth and Family Conductor of the National Arts Centre Orchestra and has held principal roles with the Ottawa and Victoria Symphonies. Knighted as a member of the National Order of Quebec in 2020, Trudel's career blends performance, education, and artistic programming.
