Keen to nurture young musicians, Crudele has devoted his time to working with young artists; and collaboration with youth orchestras is still one of his priorities. As a student, he founded the Orchestra Unimi in Milan, which under his tenure as Music Director has become one of the most respected orchestras in the city. In the same period, he was a regular guest of the Orchestra dell’Accademia Teatro alla Scala, and in more recent years he has established a collaboration with the Jeune Orchestre International de Monte-Carlo and the Orchesterzentrum NRW in Germany.
He made his highly acclaimed Opera debut with Rossini’s “Il Signor Bruschino”.

His first release was the highly acclaimed album with the London Philharmonic Orchestra featuring orchestral works by Ottorino Respighi in June 2022. September 2023 saw the release of his second album, with music by Britten and Elgar performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra, featuring violinist Michael Barenboim.
Crudele was born in Milan. He studied violin and composition at the Conservatorio di Milano. His education as a conductor started at an early age. From 1999 to 2003, he studied under Gianluigi Gelmetti at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena where he was awarded several scholarships and the most prestigious Diploma d’Onore. He received further instruction from Christoph von Dohnányi and Sir Simon Rattle.
