As pianist and composer, she often plays with the Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal. Marianne Trudel is the artistic director and composer of the McGill Jazz Orchestra 1 (Schulich School of Music, McGill University).

Her most important work to date: Dans la forêt de ma mémoire. Enduring, brilliant, inspired. There's no doubt that Marianne Trudel will be able to present it for the rest of her life on the entire jazz planet.” – La Presse, Canada (2015)
“A rich and diverse work, drawing on more than a century of musical referents (Romantic, Impressionist, contemporary, free, etc.), a work of integration comparable to the best proposals for large jazz orchestra written in recent decades.” ★★★★ “ La Presse, Canada (2015)
“Marianne's inspired writing, at times delicate and sensually communicative, at other times frenetic and exhilarating, weaves all these pieces into an extremely seductive and exciting whole. The result is magnificent! Pure Marianne Trudel. Great jazz from here and now.” ICI Musique, Radio-Canada (2015)
« In seven movements, Marianne Trudel has made herself a poet for your benefit.” -Le Journal de Montréal (2015)
