But somehow, we have to turn it into an opportunity to improve in certain areas, to question ourselves\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an instrumentalist himself, the conductor is aware that the situation is dramatic for the musicians of the ensemble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had a few meetings, including one where we were about 50 on Zoom, so that everyone could ask questions and come up with ideas.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these efforts, Trudel doesn&#8217;t think that, in Quebec, we&#8217;re going to be back in concert halls in September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe I&#8217;m wrong, but I didn\u2019t bet on that. I did, however, bet on the importance of remaining present for the public and really preparing accordingly.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the OSL has long maintained a special relationship with its audience and its community. \u201cWe have to manage this rather thankless situation, since the orchestra is sometimes in the area, sometimes not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Alain-Trudel.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23328\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to compensate for the cancellation of the summer and autumn concerts, the conductor is not short of ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNecessity is the mother of invention, as they say. There is a need to communicate and protect a certain culture. We will continue to play live, but also to maintain a presence on different platforms. I would like to do one-hour programs where we\u2019ll talk about music. I will have a host with me, and the orchestra will play a number of excerpts from different styles, including choices made by our audience, who will have chosen works that touch them. We will also have chamber-music groups playing throughout the city and several studio events, including personal projects submitted by OSL musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the distancing measures issued by public health officials, is a classical indoor concert viable?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI play the trombone,\u201d replies Trudel, \u201cI&#8217;ve done full concerts of Gabrieli&#8217;s music where we played from one end of a church to the other. In general, in brass ensembles, you keep a distance of one to two metres between musicians. But it&#8217;s true that in the orchestra, with the many strings, it\u2019s more complicated. You have to adapt, though, and with a good listen, it&#8217;s quite possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trudel is also musical director of the Toledo Symphony in Ohio. Is there a difference between the two organizations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe couldn&#8217;t be more different! Toledo is already planning indoor concerts for next September. It has to be said that in the United States, they don&#8217;t have a culture of government support at all levels, so it\u2019s in their mentality to want to get back to work as soon as possible. Otherwise, it&#8217;s bankruptcy. That certainly puts me in a strange situation, as it does other colleagues working in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether before, during or after this period of quarantine, Trudel seeks relevance. He has always tried to define the role that an orchestra should play within its community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople are starting to go back to the roots of classical music, because it gives us comfort. For example, when the restaurants closed, people started to cook at home again, to realize how long it takes to prepare a meal, to be together, to talk about it. Listening to music takes time, you have to be available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How does he see the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the form of the concert will change, and adapt to a new reality. An orchestra is like a big boat, it takes a sustained effort to make things happen. But once it\u2019s launched, you\u2019re going to have to keep that energy, even when the problems fade away. It&#8217;s not just in times of crisis that you have to move.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal conductor and artistic director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Laval since 2006, Alain Trudel is a positive person, ready to take up the challenge of the pandemic. \u201cIt is indeed a big challenge,\u201d he says at the outset. \u201cYou could call it a problem.
