Surel entered the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of fifteen and studied in Sylvie Gazeau and Christian Ivaldi's classes.[1] There he won two first prizes.
He then perfected his skills with Shlomo Mintz, Pavel Vernikov, György Sebők and the Ysaÿe Quartet.[1] He also studied harmony, orchestration and musical composition.

In 2004, he founded the Talweg Trio now composed of the pianist Romain Descharmes and the cellist Éric-Maria Couturier.[1] The Trio marked an important turning point in his musical life. Supported by Martha Argerich,[1] they are invited to festivals in Europe and Asia. Their first record, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovitch, received a "Diapason d’or".[1][2] They also recorded Johannes Brahms's complete trios which received a lot of critical attention.
He is the co-founder and artistic director of the Parisian music season La Chambre d'Amis.[2]
He collaborates with artists such as Roland Pidoux, Henri Demarquette, Abdel Rahman El Bacha, Michel Moraguès,[2] the Trio Wanderer, the musicians of the Ébène Quartet, Claire Désert, Paul Radais and Aurélien Sabouret.[1]
His repertoire includes the complete concertos of Mozart, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Sibelius, Barber and Chausson's poem.

He plays in various musical styles with artists such as Juanjo Mosalini, Tomás Gubitch,[3] Jean-Philippe Viret, Vincent Ségal and Richard Galliano with whom he has given more than 500 concerts worldwide.[2]
