Back to Bach

Hollywood's most memorable depiction of the organist is in The Phantom of the Opera. ln reality, organ­ ists cut a much more attractive figure than that passionate but scarred man. Concordia's own Bernard Lagace, inter­ nationally-renowned organist, is a prime example. Lagace is also driven by passion. For nine years he has taught the organ and the harpsichord in Concordia's Music Department. He is highly regarded the world over as an interpreter of the works of J.S. Bach, and has been described as "the unquestioned doyen of the Baroque wing of Quebec organ playing." Yesterday, Lagace participated in a workshop and demonstration featuring Bach's "Die Clavierbi.ing." The work­ shop was hosted by the Montreal Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organ- . ists, chaired by Frederick Francis of Con­ cordia's Council for International Co­ operation. In an effort to elevate awareness of ~ the organ and organ music, Lagace has i spent many summers teaching master organists and giving recitals in Europe t and across North America. His efforts g were rewarded with an Order of Canada ~ in 1986 and the Prix du Quebec in 1977. -~ -DGV

CONCORDIA ( )l)l.= fu} The Quebec Charter of UNIVERSITY r ";"" 7, Hu{llan Rights and Freedoms What Do You Know?

INCOME' The f9llowing questions are taken from a guide published by La Commission des droits de la personne du Quebec on the legality of certain kinds of requests for information that, in the past, have often been found on job application forms and may have been asked during the interview process. The Quebec Charter prohibits discrimination based on race, colour, sex, TAX . pregnancy, sexual orientation, civil status, age except as provided by law, religion, political convictions, language, ethnic or racial origins, social condition, a handicap or the use of any means to palliate a handicap (ref. RECEIPTS . Chapter 1.1, article 10). Which of the following questions/requests for information are legal? The following will be available for pick up: 1. Please indicate sex ......

Please indicate your civil status (check one) Education Deduction Certificate (T2202) - full time students only O-Married D Separated D Divorced D Single Education Deduction Certificate (TP-697) - full time students only 3.

Place of birth ...... : ...... only 7. Former address ...... 8. What does your wife/husband do? ...... ~ ...... 9. Do you intend to have children? ...... All of the above questions are illegal either on the application form or February 20 - March 2, 1989 during the interview. Some questions or information which must be avoided in the application form and/or interview may be asked after hiring for specific reasons. For instance,.an employer may request a work permit, proof SGW N-107-5 of citizenship or of-immigrant status after hiring. Concordia's application form for employment does not request any information which would violate the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.
