To honour his unwavering commitment and the founding vision behind a project that has flourished for 25 years, the Orchestre de la francophonie is proud to announce the creation of the Jean-Philippe Tremblay Scholarship.
This annual scholarship will support an aspiring young conductor, offering them the opportunity to train with the Orchestra and carry forward the spirit of mentorship that Jean-Philippe holds dear.
On behalf of the board of directors, the entire team, and the more than 1,200 musicians he has guided with passion, we extend our deepest thanks.
The first recipient will join the Orchestra next season. Applications will open at the same time as auditions.
