It has finally arrived: on Monday, April 16th the Department of Music proudly presents the 20th edition of the Vanier College Big Band Benefit! Since this is such a special concert, our dedicatee this time around will be the inimitable Oliver Jones who so graciously hosted the event for so many years. Master of Ceremonies Ranee Lee will also be a guest performer, as will Vanier trumpet teacher and big band director Jocelyn Couture. Testimonials to Oliver will be given by Ms. Lee, and by past department coordinator Nadia Turbide. Also in attendance will be past honorees, including John Lynch, Kevin Roch, Wah Keung Chan, and Tony Romandini. To help us celebrate, the Department of Music will present senior jazz improvisation students from the three-year Professional Music and Song Techniques program. And of course, the J.L. Big Band directed by Christopher Smith will put on another fabulous show for us--all in aid of raising funds for jazz scholarships for the department. Official Facebook posting is at https://www.facebook.com/events/1204199843049741/. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Vanier College Auditorium. Admission is $10 for the general public, $5 for students and seniors. A great price for an amazing show! Glen Ethier, Department of Music Classical Music Recital this Week This Wednesday, during UB in the Auditorium, the Department of Music presents a very special recital of classical voice and piano students. The voice students are from the studio of our excellent classical voice teacher, Tamara Vickerd, while the piano students come to us courtesy of our no less excellent classical piano teacher, Julia Gavrilova. Now, you may ask what is so special about singers and pianists. Well, aside from the fact that they are young, talented, and eager to perform for you, we usually hold their recitals in room A-250 of the Music Department. Because of space limitations, the rest of the college is not usually invited to hear them in that room. That’s why you almost never see an announcement about them here. But they do exist (you can sometimes see them lurking in the hallways), and we in the Music Department do love the rest of you and want to share the joy. So, please take advantage of this very rare opportunity to come and hear our singers and pianists in recital on Wednesday! Glen Ethier, Department of Music Vanier’s Wilma Brown receives the PERFORMA Award for the Quality of Production and Pedagogical Intervention in College Teaching Congratulations to Assistant Dean Wilma Brown, winner of the PERFORMA Award for the Quality of Production and Pedagogical Intervention in College Teaching (Prix PERFORMA pour la qualité de production et de l’intervention pédagogique en enseignement au collegial, volet anglophone). The prize recognizes her contribution to the development of knowledge related to evolving teaching practices and pedagogical intervention in college education. Wilma Brown is a pioneer in the development of PERFORMA’s Anglophone colleges’ continuing education programs. Her contribution to the elaboration of these programs is very important, once as a local representative, now as a Resource Person at PERFORMA. She played an important role in the construction of the Graduate Certificate in College Teaching, a 15-credit program that focuses on basic training for college teachers. She has also contributed significantly to the growth of the Master Teacher Program with her organizing skills, and helped the MTP Steering Committee and the MTP Graduation Ceremony. “PERFORMA and the Master Teacher Program is the most wonderful program,” said Wilma Brown. “It allows Cegep teachers and staff members, to take courses that focus on teaching in the Cegep system. The people who take these courses are all highly motivated. It’s a terrific opportunity for them to talk about pedagogy, teaching issues and concerns as well as strategies and approaches, and to exchange with people from other cegeps. It has given me tremendous joy and satisfaction to be able to learn alongside very gifted teachers and staff. I love pedagogy, so it has been very rewarding for me because even as I’m teaching I am also learning along with them. It’s been wonderful.” Annie-Claude Banville, Academic Dean of Vanier College is proud of this network recognition of a Vanier College Academic Manager. “Performa is a wonderful organization that understands the Cegeps and Faculty needs, and offers tools and adapted material for all of us. Willie’s dedication is a good example of the contribution of professionals and managers in pedagogical development, working with teachers throughout the Cegep network. She clearly loves what she does, helps others and it is contagious,” said Annie-Claude Banville. This prize was part of the annual Sherbrooke University Faculty of Education’s Prix d’excellence en education Awards Ceremony held on April 11, 2018. Congratulations to Wilma Brown on this much-deserved award.

Creative Writing as Storytelling Presented by Stéphane Martelly Fri., April 20, 2:00-4:00, A-315 This workshop will offer a few experimentations in writing and storytelling. Voice, chronology and varied forms will be mobilized to help you think and write with / against autobiographical narratives. Ethical Issues in Oral History Presented by Mark Beauchamp, Ben Lander, and Lisa Ndejuru Wednesday, May 2, 12:00-1:15 (Universal Break), A-313 Sharing authority is a key tenet of oral history practice and one of the ways oral historians deal with it is through negotiating consent to record and use the interviews for research and to go public. This workshop will introduce participants to the complex ethical questions surrounding work on personal or familial narratives, when the participants are around the age of legal consent. Biographies Concordia Public Scholar Lisa Ndejuru has been a core member of Concordia’s Center for Oral History and Digital Storytelling since its inception in 2005. For seven years Lisa was a community co-applicant and steering committee member of the major SSHRC-funded community- university project Life Stories Of Montrealers Displaced By War, Genocide And Other Human Rights Violations. Motivated by her own family’s story of trauma and displacement, her current Ph.D. studies are at the intersection of community engagement, clinical practice, and arts- based research. Her extensive experimentation with storytelling, play, and improvised theatre in post-trauma settings aims for individual and collective meaning-making and empowerment in the aftermath of large-scale political violence. Writer, painter, and scholar Stéphane Martelly, Ph. D., was born in Port-au-Prince and now lives in Montreal. Through a profoundly transdisciplinary approach, she combines theory, critical reflection, and art in her work. She has published poetry and children’s tales, and her pictorial works are showcased in a digital art book.

In Memoriam: Tony Romandini It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of former Vanier electric guitar teacher, Tony Romandini on June 3, 2020. Tony taught here for over 20 years and retired in 2012. In addition to being a guitarist and teacher, he was a respected composer and arranger. As a teenager he studied guitar in New York, and by the age of 15 had performed with Maynard Ferguson. By the age of 20 he was working for the CBC and performing in clubs around Montreal and abroad. In addition to performing on guitar, Tony also played banjo, mandolin, and classical guitar. He gave concerts of classical music in France and Germany during the 1960s, and has performed with the Montreal and Quebec Symphony Orchestras. Tony appeared several times in the Montreal International jazz festival, including as a backing musician to Oscar Peterson in the pianist's appearance with the MSO at the festival in 1985. Those of us who knew and worked with him will remember him fondly not only as an amazing musical talent, but as a warm, generous person with a wonderful sense of humour.

  • The 9 Annual Big Band Benefit Concert at Vanier College
    April 3, 2007 The 9th Annual Big Band Benefit Concert at Vanier College Celebrates guitar legend Tony Romandini This year’s 9th Annual Big Band Benefit Concert at Vanier College on April 16, 2007, will celebrate the Dean of Montreal music, guitar legend, Tony Romandini. Jazz pianist Oliver Jones will host the gala evening whose proceeds go to create music scholarships for students in the Vanier College Music Program. Tony Romandini has been a fixture of the Montreal music scene for over fifty years. As a studio musician moving easily between guitar, banjo and mandolin, a composer, and a sideman to Oscar Peterson, Romandini has done it all including concert tours of classical music in France and Germany and playing with the MSO and the Quebec Symphony. The concert will be a delectable feast for Big Band music fans. The first half of the evening features performances by Vanier music teachers and music by the Vanier Stage Band under the direction of Jocelyn Couture, Vanier teacher and well-known trumpeter who has performed with Céline Dion, Ginette Reno and Vic Vogel to name but a few. The second half of the evening will soar when jazz singer Karen Young takes to the stage accompanied by the J.L. Big Band conducted by Christopher Smith international award-winning trombonist and composer. And along the way there will be surprises and delights to make the evening a memorable one. Oliver Jones who trained exclusively in classical piano began making a name for himself as a jazz performer in the eighties. Since then he has worked a busy concert schedule, toured around the world, and recorded several albums.
