Luc Gilbert

Luc Gilbert serves as faculty at Trebas Institute in Montreal, bringing decades of professional experience as a composer and conductor. Originally from Quebec City, he studied at the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec and Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal under Gilles Tremblay, Madeleine Martin, and Clermont Pépin. His career spans television networks (CBC, Radio-Canada, TVA, NBC, CTV), international events including the Sydney Olympics, and collaborations with major orchestras worldwide.

His artistic work centers on music composition at the intersection of traditional orchestration and electroacoustic innovation. Gilbert creates scores for diverse media—from children's television (Sesame Street) to orchestral performances—blending acoustic instruments with electronic elements to produce contemporary soundscapes that have defined Québécois media and international events.

At Trebas Institute, Gilbert provides private composition instruction where students gain direct access to his professional methodologies developed through producing albums for artists like Roch Voisine and conducting recording sessions across five continents. His mentorship emphasizes practical application of electroacoustic techniques within commercial and orchestral contexts.
