The Chairman of the Board of the Orchestre symphonique de Laval is pleased to announce the appointment of Charles Decroix to the position of General Manager, effective February 26, 2020.
For the past five years, Charles has been General Manager of theQuebec Choral Alliance. Prior to that, he held the same position at theCanadian Vocal Arts Institute since 2012.
Charles Decroix began playing the piano at the age of 6, and continued his education in musically-oriented classes. He holds a master's degree in music and music administration from La Sorbonne Paris IV (2001-2006).
After a year in Quebec (2007), during which he discovered the province's great cultural dynamism, Charles Decroix returned to France to pursue a Master's degree in Management and Administration of Cultural Projects at HEC Paris. He then worked for major French orchestras and opera companies, including the Orchestre National de France, theEnsemble Intercontemporain and the Festival International d'Art Lyrique d'Aix-en-Provence, before settling in Quebec in 2012. He became a Canadian citizen in 2018.
Winston McQuade, Chairman of the Board of Directors, comments "I would like to welcome Charles Decroix. Our new General Manager can be assured of the full support of the Board of Directors. We are also delighted to be able to continue our collaboration with Maude Brunet, and thank her for her excellent performance as interim General Manager since last September, particularly during a period of great importance for the Orchestra, when it was realizing its great ambitions, such as the very recent Winter Classical Festival. Wishing to devote more time to her career as a mezzo-soprano, Maude Brunet will return to her former duties at the orchestra, after ensuring a smooth transition of files".
