Founded in 1984, the Orchestre symphonique de Laval (OSL) is one of Laval’s main artistic organization, with a roster of 53 professional musicians, graduates of Quebec’s music conservatories and universities. For more than 30 years, the orchestra’s chief mandate is to offer audiences grand symphonic music and provide a pleasurable listening experience. The Orchestre symphonique de Laval’s current artistic director, Alain Trudel, is among the most sought-after conductors in Canada. Each year, the Orchestra presents eight to fifteen symphonic concerts and more than twenty chamber music concerts. In 2013, the Conseil Québécois de la musique handed the Orchestra an Opus Prize for the Young audience’s production of the year. The tandem Alain Trudel – Orchestre symphonique de Laval recorded two CD’s under the ATMA Classique label: Il Tramonto – Respighi in 2015 and Femmes with Soprano Marie-Josée Lord in 2018.
