Jean-Philippe Tremblay

Conductor Jean-Philippe Tremblay is the founder and music director of Montreal's Orchestre de la Francophonie. He also serves as the music director of the city's Appassionata Chamber Orchestra and has guest conducted a wide variety of orchestras across Canada and beyond. Tremblay was born in 1978 in Chicoutimi, Quebec (now part of Saguenay), a mining city well north of Montreal. Despite its remote location, the city boasts a symphony orchestra and a music conservatory. Tremblay began studying the viola at 14, taking lessons from Montreal Symphony conductor Charles Dutoit, and played as a high school student in the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. His first experiences with conducting came as a member of that orchestra, when a last-minute substitute was needed and he spontaneously volunteered; with very little preparation, he conducted the overture to Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri. Tremblay enrolled in sports studies courses as a university student but then switched to a double major in music and economics at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. At 17, he attended the Pierre Monteux Summer Camp in Maine, and then, hooked on conducting, moved on to the summer program at the Tanglewood Festival in Massachusetts as a student of Seiji Ozawa and an assistant to André Previn. He studied conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in London and then spent several years in Montreal as a freelancer, taking guest conducting engagements with a large variety of orchestras worldwide, including the Montreal Symphony, the London Philharmonic, and the Prague Radio Symphony. In 2001, he founded the Orchestre de la Francophonie, "a symbolic place where classical music and the French language come together for one season, every summer, for almost 20 years now." The orchestra consists of young players and has a significant educational component. In 2016, he was named the music director of the Appassionata Chamber Orchestra in Montreal as well. Tremblay made his recording debut in 2006 with the Montreal Players, issuing an album of orchestral transcriptions of Schumann's string quartets. With the Orchestre de la Francophonie he has recorded mostly for the Analekta label, issuing music by Bruckner and Beethoven as well as by francophone composers. In 2020, he and the orchestra moved to the Chandos label for a recording of works by composer Airat Ichmouratov.
