Lindemann, a native of Edmonton, Canada, is the first classical trumpet player to receive this honor, which is the highest award given by the government of Canada to citizens deemed outstanding in their fields. Lindemann has performed in every major concert venue in the world in a career that has included appearing in London as an orchestral soloist in “Last Night of the Proms”, recording with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, playing lead trumpet with the renowned Canadian Brass, and giving a Royal Command Performance for Queen Elizabeth.
