Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art
NEW ADVENTURES IN SOUND ART Presents: DEEP WIRELESS FESTIVAL of RADIO & TRANSMISSION ART May 1 - 31, 2009 at Artscape Wychwood Barns and Gladstone Hotel http://www.deepwireless.ca
Toronto, ON, April 1, 2009: New Adventures in Sound Art is pleased to launch the 8th edition of the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art, taking place May 1-31, 2009. As part of a month-long celebration of radio and transmission art, NAISA presents cutting edge performances, a theatre production, sound installations, new commissions for CBC's Outfront, special radio broadcasts, a compilation CD and the Radio Without Boundaries conference. "In an era when the channels for creative radio are rapidly being extinguished, Deep Wireless returns every May to bring people together from around the world who are continually pushing the creative boundaries of the world's oldest electronic media as well as redefining radio and transmission through new technologies."– Darren Copeland, Artistic Director, New Adventures in Sound Art.
The month-long festival is launched with a whirlwind first week of activities beginning on May 1st with an open house at the NAISA space where the public and media are invited to experience radio and transmission first-hand as well as to sample upcoming highlights of the festival. Then on May 3rd in Mississauga the soundscape becomes the focus for International Dawn Chorus Day - a worldwide celebration of Nature's daily Miracle, the chorus of sound initiated by birds at sunrise. The environs provide the concert, as Mark Cranford from the South Peel Naturalists' Club will be on-hand to help identify the performers all of which will be recorded for later broadcast. Then on May 6th at Theatre Direct's Loop Studio and May 7th at the Gladstone Hotel, NAISA launches three installations: Phoning in the Answer by John Gzowski and Camellia Koo, the Radio Art Salon curated by Darren Copeland and GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water by Kevin T. Allen. When we think of communications technology there is always a physical component. The rotary telephone had its handset, the radio its dial. With the installations at Deep Wireless, listening becomes a physical encounter – an ear to the handset, a gaze into a stereoscope with accompanying binaural soundscapes, and a listening lounge for radio art using a modified hair salon dryer dome.
On May 7th the NAISA space becomes both the venue and conduit for its annual translocal event in a realization of Quasimodo the Great lover, by Alvin Lucier and directed by Matt Rogalsky and Laura Cameron. Whale and bird sounds are transformed by their passage through acoustic spaces and connected via the internet across Lake Ontario and then down to the bottom of the Americas in Buenos Aires. Canadian performers include dreamSTATE at the NAISA space in Toronto, Gayle Young/Reinhardt Reitzenstein in Grimbsy, Laura Kavanagh/Ian Birse in Buenos Aires and Matt Rogalsky/Laura Cameron in Kingston.
The week ends with two cutting edge performances on May 8th and May 10th by Benoît Maubrey (director of Die Audio Gruppe, Germany), as Feedback Fred and Toronto dancer Marie-Josée Chartier as the Audio Ballerina both perform wearing electronics clothes. FEEDBACK FRED, equipped with an oversized loudspeaker box on his back and a microphone-mask, "feeds back" his own voice through the interaction of his wearable PA system and physical gyrations throughout the performance space. This personality can be likened to a cross-cloning of Hamlet and an electronic-laden Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The AUDIO BALLERINA uses -- among other electronic instruments-- light sensors that enable her to produce sounds through the interaction of her movements and the surrounding light (PEEPER choreography). Via movement sensors, she can also trigger electronic sounds that are subsequently choreographed --or "orchestrated"-- into musical compositions as an audio ballet.
Threshold Theatre joins forces with NAISA to present i dont want to be an inside me anymore an adaptation of the radio documentary by Darren Copeland based on the autobiography i dont want to be inside me anymore by Birger Sellin and performed by German actor Sebastian Schäfer. Birger Sellin is determined to throw off the loneliness that "like a great clod of earth" threatens to "weigh down his soul." But, despite the eloquence and power of his writing, he remains severely autistic; his world is unbelievably remote from ours. Yet the uncompromisingly honest messages he sends to "humanity-without-me" will touch all those who read them and serve as he hopes, as inspiration for others who must struggle to express ideas and emotions locked deep inside themselves.
May 27th the NAISA space is the venue for the annual RADiO iN AMBiENCE performances co-presented with the AMBiENT PiNG. Listen to Vancouver sound/radio artist Kristen Roos with Anna Friz and Nilan Perera as they coax the radio ether into an outer-worldly electro ambient chill.
The Radio Without Boundaries conference will close the month-long celebrations May 28 – 30, 2009 as it explores the many potentials, boundaries and artist perspectives of radio. Conference speakers include keynote speakers Gregory Whitehead (USA), Hank Bull (Can) and Brandon LaBelle (Germany/USA), Chris Brookes (Can), Andrea Dancer (Can), Paul Ingles (USA), Neil Sandell (Can) and many more. Workshops by Chris Brookes, Andra McCartney and others will be offered during the conference for attendees only. The weekend also includes performances that will surprise and delight audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with radio art. Kristen Roos (of Ghost Station fame at Nuit Blanche 2007) performs using radio transmitters, Italian Alessandro Bosetti performs using his Mask/Mirror, a sampler that processes recordings of spoken language in real time. And finally, performances that challenge disciplinary boundaries by the Deep Wireless Ensemble this year consisting of sound and media artist Jessica Thompson, musician and sound artist François Girouard, sound artist Brandon LaBelle, and actor and interdisciplinary artist Lisa Pijuan-Nomura. Also included are works commissioned by CBC Outfront by Paolo Pietropaolo, Hélène Prévost, Iain Reid and Andra McCartney.
NAISA will launch its 2-CD set Deep Wireless 6 Radio Art Compilation CD that includes radio art collected in response to the 2008 call for submissions on the theme Ecology: water, air, sound. This radio art compilation was curated from these submissions and represents the many talented radio and sound artists world-wide.
The Deep Wireless festival is partially funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council, and the SOCAN foundation.
New Adventures in Sound Art is a non-profit organization that produces performances and installations spanning the entire spectrum of electroacoustic and experimental sound art. Included in its Toronto productions are: Deep Wireless, Sound Travels, and SOUNDplay.

Duo Concertante to appear in Classical 96 lobby concert April 8 - launches "It Takes Two"
IT'S A TORONTO CD LAUNCH FOR NEWFOUNDLAND'S DUO CONCERTANTE;
CD RELEASE: "IT TAKES TWO"; LIVE PERFORMANCES AT
THE NEW CLASSICAL FM 96.3 AND THE COC'S FREE CONCERT SERIES Toronto, ONTARIO - East coast violin/piano pair Duo Concertante (violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves) is thrilled to release its fourth CD, entitled "It Takes Two", a Marquis Classics/EMI Canada recording of encore chestnuts to please and delight any classical music fan. Excerpts from the CD will be performed and broadcast live at The New Classical 96.3 FM on Wednesday, April 8, at 1:20 PM and classical music fans can tune in or watch on the internet at http://www.classical963fm.com. The Duo will also perform on Tuesday, May 5 at the Canadian Opera Company's Free Concert Series from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. The uniqueness of this album originates with the arrangements. When violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves wanted to release an album of encore pieces, they approached Canadian composer Clifford Crawley for inspiration - and the collaboration was mutually rewarding. "We wanted to present encore pieces which featured both instruments equally," explain Nancy and Timothy. "When we approached Clifford about arranging some materials, we suggested some of our favourite opera arias, jazz tunes, and orchestral pieces. He had great ideas and for the next year created the 14 arrangements that comprise this disc. We are indebted to his great skill, enthusiasm, and generous spirit. The title of the disc should really be 'It Takes Three.'" Duo Concertante's previous recordings, all under the ATMA Classique label, reveal the pair's wide range: "Wild Honey" (2003), highlighting Canadian composers Kelly-Marie Murphy, Chan Ka Nin, Omar Daniel, Jean Lesage, and Andrew Paul MacDonald; "Of Heart and Homeland" (2002), was a disc of Janàcek, de Falla, Shostakovich, Michael Parker, Smetana, Dvorák, and Piazzolla; and "à Deux" (1998), which featured Beethoven, Stravinsky, Ravel, and Brahms. "It Takes Two" repertoire list: de Abreu: Tico Tico; Gershwin: Lady Be Good (medley); Saint-Saëns: Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix; Khachaturian: Sabre Dance; Grieg: Solveig's Song; Gillespie: A Night in Tunisia; (trad): The Lark; Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet; Sibelius: Valse triste; Rodgers: "It's a Grand Night for Falling in Love with the Most Beautiful Girl on a Carousel"; Bonfá: Black Orpheus; Tchaikovsky: June - Barcarolle; Mozart: Rondo alla Turka; and Puccini:
Humming Chorus. "It Takes Two" will be available April 14, 2009 and available online at www.marquisclassics.com.
Since forming in 1997, Duo Concertante has been acclaimed for performances characterized by brilliance, subtlety, and passion, across North America and abroad. Hailed for their "artistry, poetry, impeccable technique", and "exceptional warmth and intimacy", violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves are renowned for their extraordinary teamwork and powerfully-charged performances which them apart from more conventional violin/piano collaborations. The San Francisco Classical Voice wrote, "Brilliant, saucy and soulful . . . you hear splendid sweet nuances everywhere; Duo Concertante makes a powerful case for thinking of violin/piano sonatas as duo music, rather than as music for a pianist and a violinist." www.duoconcertante.com Clifford Crawley was born in 1929 and educated in England. Affiliated with the Canadian League of Composers and the Canadian Music Centre, he has over 80 published compositions. He believes "originality is not necessarily something new, but often [the result of] looking at the familiar in a different way," which perfectly sums up his contribution to "It Takes Two." He is Professor Emeritus at Queen's University, having taught composition and music education there from 1973 to 1993. He has worked as a music consultant in Central America and Asia, and participated in many Composer/Artist in the Classroom programs. He now lives and enjoys an active musical life in St. John's, Newfoundland. www.musiccentre.ca Labels: CD, maritimes, piano, radio, violin

CMQ - Alain Lefèvre et le Concerto No.4
LE PIANISTE ALAIN LEFÈVRE ET SON ENREGISTREMENT DU CONCERTO NO 4 D'ANDRÉ MATHIEU DANS UNE DIFFUSION NATIONALE de performance today SUR LES RÉSEAUX AMÉRICAINS Montréal, 9 mars 2009 – Performance Today, l'émission radio de musique classique numéro 1 aux États-Unis, met aujourd'hui en lumière l'enregistrement Analekta salué d'Alain Lefèvre du Concerto no 4 pour piano et orchestre d'André Mathieu, avec le Tucson Symphony Orchestra sous la direction de George Hanson. Cette émission radio sera entendue lundi le 9 mars sur 245 stations publiques partout aux États-Unis. La liste complète des heures de diffusion est disponible au www.performancetoday.org. L'émission, suivie par 1,1 million d'auditeurs chaque semaine, sera également disponible sur le site Internet de Performance Today pendant sept jours.
Rappelons que l'enregistrement Analekta s'était hissé au deuxième rang du palmarès américain classique moins d'une semaine après son lancement en septembre 2008. Lefèvre a créé le Concerto à Tucson en mai 2008 et en a donné la première européenne en octobre dernier, lors d'une représentation triomphale au mythique Théâtre des Champs-Élysées à Paris avec l'Orchestre National de Paris. De plus, le concert a été diffusé en direct partout en Europe par Radio-France. En décembre, Lefèvre partageait son amour pour la musique d'André Mathieu lors d'une entrevue télévisée avec le prestigieux Charlie Rose, entretien qui a été diffusé sur plus de 200 stations PBS affiliées partout aux États-Unis. Pour consulter les archives vidéo, visitez le www.charlierose.com
Avec passion et conviction, Alain Lefèvre poursuit sa mission de diffuser la musique du compositeur québécois André Mathieu (1929-1968), faisant revivre les œuvres du génie oublié tant au concert que sur disque. La courte vie de Mathieu, le « Mozart canadien », reste nimbée de mystère. Lefèvre a également enregistré le Rhapsodie romantique de Mathieu, sur Rhapsodies, un enregistrement avec l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. Cet enregistrement Analekta a été l'un des albums classiques les plus vendus au Canada en 2007 et BBC Music Magazine a considéré son achat comme étant « essentiel ».
Alain Lefèvre enregistrera prochainement pour Analekta le Concerto no 1 pour piano et trompette de Chostakovitch et le Concertino no 2 de Mathieu, opus 13, avec les London Mozart Players. Le disque sera lancé lors d'un concert au Cadogan Hall de Londres le 7 octobre 2009.
Un « interprète sensationnel » (Washington Post), le pianiste et compositeur Alain Lefèvre mène une carrière internationale éblouissante, en tant qu'invité des orchestres les plus réputés, dans plus de trente pays.

I Musici de Montréal sur scène, à la radio et sur le Web!
 | L’Orchestre de chambre I Musici de Montréal Sur scène, à la radio et sur le Web
Et portrait de Yuli Turovsky à la télévision
Montréal, le 2 mars 2009 — Sous la baguette de Maestro Yuli Turovsky, L’Orchestre I Musici de Montréal proposera le 11 mars 2009 à 20 h, à la Salle Pollack, le concert Mangez, buvez et faites la fête! Au menu : les Inestimables Chroniques du bon géant Gargantua de Françaix et la Symphonie de chambre de Dvorák sauront assurément sustenter les mélomanes. De plus, en cette deuxième semaine de mars, nous invitons les auditeurs à syntoniser Espace musique pour la diffusion du concert Charbons ardents — touches de feu avec, comme soliste invité, le lauréat de prestigieux concours internationaux de piano : Richard Raymond. Et, comme troisième rendez-vous à l’agenda, le public aura l’occasion de découvrir un parcours peu connu de Yuli Turovsky sur la chaîne télévisuelle HISTORIA.
Sur scène : Mangez, buvez et faites la fête! avec I Musici de Montréal
Véritable virtuose du piano, Jean Françaix (1912-1997) nous a légué un volumineux catalogue d’œuvres de chambre. Celui qui composa pour la scène et le cinéma se distinguait par une joyeuse fantaisie. Rien d’étonnant que l’œuvre-phare de Rabelais, Gargantua, ait séduite ce compositeur d’exception. Écrite en 1971, Françaix adapta le message humaniste du grand auteur de la Renaissance avec beaucoup d’éloquence. Son Gargantua, une transcription pour un narrateur et un orchestre à cordes épouse à merveille le texte original rabelaisien, un chef-d’œuvre de la littérature satirique. 
Edgar Fruitier | Pour déguster à loisir les mots de l’écrivain plaisantin, l’homme de théâtre et communicateur émérite Edgar Fruitier assumera la narration. Comédien depuis plus de 50 ans et mélomane passionné, Edgar Fruitier est sans aucun doute une figure emblématique au Québec. Nommé « Chevalier de l’Ordre national du Québec » en juin 2008, cet autodidacte érudit s’est associé aux Productions Octave pour la réalisation de trois coffrets de musique classique : Les grands classiques d’Edgar. Les deux premiers coffrets ont connu un succès de vente phénoménal, plus de 150 000 copies ! |
Également au programme de la soirée figure la Symphonie de chambre en la bémol majeur d’Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904), une transcription de Yuli Turovsky du Quatuor à cordes no 14, opus 105. Ce quatuor de Dvorák a été écrit en 1835 à son retour en Bohême à la suite d’un séjour de trois ans dans le Nouveau Monde. Dernière œuvre de musique de chambre composée par le compositeur, sa Symphonie évoque tantôt une danse traditionnelle tchèque pleine d’entrain, tantôt une construction symphonique à la Bruckner. À la télévision : entrevue de Yuli Turovsky sur la chaîne HISTORIA
Depuis janvier, Nos familles, une série documentaire consacrée à des personnalités connues issues de diverses communautés culturelles, est à l’antenne de la chaîne HISTORIA. L’émission portant sur la Russie sera diffusée à compter du lundi 9 mars. Maestro Yuli Turovsky, originaire de Moscou et établi au Québec depuis une trentaine d’années, nous racontera son histoire personnelle et nous fera découvrir la communauté russophone de Montréal. Produite par Orbi-XXI, la série Nos familles est une réalisation de Marie-Hélène Grenier.

Enregistré le 18 décembre dernier à la Salle Pollack, le concert mettait en vedette le soliste Richard Raymond. Le pianiste virtuose a joué la Rapsodia sinfónica de Turina et le Concerto de chambre pour piano et cordes de Franck. Quant à L’Orchestre, il interprétait « La Jeune Fille et la Mort» de Schubert et les Danses païennes sur des charbons ardents de Vania Angelova. Présentée en première mondiale, cette création dépeint un univers ancestral, païen et mystique de la Bulgarie.

I Musici de Montréal Chamber Orchestra
On stage, on the radio and on the Web
…and a portrait of Yuli Turovsky on television
Montréal, March 2nd, 2009 — Under the baton of Yuli Turovsky, I Musici de Montréal Orchestra presents Eat, Drink and be Merry! on March 11, 2009 at 8 pm in Pollack Hall. On the menu: the Inestimables Chroniques du bon géant Gargantua by Françaix and the Chamber Symphony by Dvorák – a really interesting mix for music lovers. In addition, during this second week of March, we invite you to tune into Espace musique on the French network of CBC to hear the concert Hot Coals - Hot Key with the winner of many international prizes – pianist Richard Raymond. And, a third rendez-vous to put in your calendar, you will have an opportunity to discover some unknown sides of Yuli Turovsky on the HISTORIA television channel. On stage: Eat, Drink and be Merry! with I Musici de Montréal
Veritable piano virtuoso, Jean Françaix (1912-1997) left a huge catalogue of chamber works. Those that he composed for the cinema were distinguished by a joyful fantasy. It is not surprising that the most famous work of Rabelais, Gargantua, attracted this exceptional composer. Written in 1971, Françaix eloquently adapted the humanist message of the great Renaissance author. His Gargantua, a version for narrator and string orchestra, is marvellous in its use of the original satirical Rabelaisian text along with music.
Edgar Fruitier | To bring this humorous feast of words to us, the narrator is none other than our man of the theatre and a great communicator – Edgar Fruitier. An actor for more than 50 years and a passionate music lover, Edgar Fruitier is, without doubt, a Quebec legend. Named « Chevalier de l’ordre national du Québec » in June, 2008, this self taught erudite is now associated with Productions Octave in producing the boxed sets: Les grands classiques d’Edgar. The first two sets have had phenomenal success selling more than 150,000 copies! |
Also on the program is the Chamber Symphony in A-flat Major by Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904), in a transcription by Yuli Turovsky of the String Quartet No 14, Op. 105. This quartet was written in 1835 on his return to Bohemia at the end of a three year stay in the New World. This was his last chamber music work – a work evokes at once the traditional Czech dance music full of melodic movement, and at other times displays the kind of symphonic structure that leans toward Bruckner. On television: an interview with Yuli Turovsky on the HISTORIA channel
Starting in January, Nos familles, (Our families) is a documentary series consecrated to well known personalities in diverse cultural communities. The program on Russia will be broadcast starting on Monday, March 9. Maestro Yuli Turovsky, originally from Moscow and now living in Quebec for thirty years, recounts his personal history and helps us discover the Russian community in Montreal. Produced by Orbi-XX1, the series Nos familles is directed by Marie-Hélène Grenier.

OSM / It's better with Orchestra! : Dress rehearsal open to the public
It's Better with Orchestra! : Dress rehearsal open to the public
Be the first to experience a unique encounter between the worlds of radio and classical music
Tickets at $30 / $15 for 15 to 30 year olds
In light of the strong demand for tickets to the concert It's Better with Orchestra!, the OSM is unusually opening its dress rehearsal to the general public. That rehearsal will be held on Sunday, March 22, 2009, at 10 a.m. in Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts. Under the direction of Maestro Kent Nagano, this will be the sole opportunity, for those who have been unable to obtain tickets for the concert itself (taking place that same afternoon), to hear the world premiere of the Concerto for radio host and orchestra. Inspired by the radio program C'est bien meilleur le matin and its intimate and friendly formula, the work, commissioned by the OSM from composer Simon Leclerc (music of Dracula and of the movie Le dernier continent) will feature three big names from French-language radio: host René Homier-Roy along with journalists Catherine Perrin (entertainment) and Marc Laurendeau (press review) from the same program, which has aired on the Première Chaîne service of Radio-Canada since 1997. The three guest "soloists" will blend their voices with those of the instruments of the Orchestra in a dialogue, in music and words, on subjects of current interest. "The first time Kent Nagano talked to me about the project I thought he was joking," confesses composer Simon Leclerc. "Mr. Nagano explained to me that he was fascinated by the virtuosity of the host and by the musicality that the show C'est bien meilleur le matin gave off. He wanted to transpose that world to an original work for symphony orchestra. After thinking about it for a few months, I suggested I compose a concerto for radio host and orchestra, a work inspired both by the concerto grosso and by the symphonic poem. He was excited by the idea." From current affairs to the performing arts by way of sports and the weather, Homier-Roy, Perrin and Laurendeau will guide listeners through a work in which instruments also have "something to say." "Surprisingly," says host René Homier-Roy, "I never thought it was a joke. The Maestro's extreme intensity when he was making those strange remarks — that what we were doing was something like music, that the rhythm of the show had a musicality of its own, and likewise our voices — his seriousness and the sparkle I saw in his eye led me to believe, right away, that this crazy idea he had in his head was infinitely interesting. And it turns out I was right..." The stage at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier will be set up like a radio studio with microphones and the traditional half-moon desk, helping bring to life the complete experience of a radio morning show for music lovers. The ninety-minute program will begin with the outstanding violinist Viviane Hagner in a performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto, a composition both spiritual and intense. Rounding off the program will be Ottorino Respighi's remarkable symphonic poem The Pines of Rome, one of the OSM's biggest hits on disc. Tickets for this dress rehearsal in the Musical Sundays series are available now at a cost of $30. A new feature this year at the OSM: those between the ages of fifteen and thirty can attend all concerts in the regular-season programming for only $15 per concert. To get your tickets and not miss out on this very special rendezvous, contact the box office at (514) 842-9951 or visit our website at www.osm.ca. Labels: Kent Nagano, montreal, osm, radio

Fred Sherratt receives the 2009 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award
 FRED SHERRATT RECEIVES
THE 2009 WALT GREALIS SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Broadcasting pioneer and former chief of CHUM Limited to be honoured at The 2009 JUNO Awards Toronto, ON (December 2, 2008) - The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) is pleased to announce broadcasting pioneer Fred Sherratt as the recipient of the 2009 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award. The Award recognizes an outstanding individual who has contributed to the growth and advancement of the Canadian music industry. Sherratt will be presented with the Award during the JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards on Saturday, March 28, 2009 in Vancouver, BC. "I am extremely honoured that CARAS has named me this year's recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award and that my name will be inscribed alongside the Canadian music greats who preceded me," said Fred Sherratt. "My entire broadcasting career has been 'mainly about the music' and it has been a privilege to participate in the dynamic growth of the Canadian music industry." "Fred Sherratt has dedicated a lifetime to ensuring the highest broadcast standards in Canadian radio and television as well as the delivery of quality music and entertainment programs across the country," said Melanie Berry, President of CARAS. Earlier this year, CARAS and CTVglobemedia jointly established annual music scholarships named after Fred Sherratt. The MusiCounts Fred Sherratt Awards were given out to 11 outstanding post-secondary graduates of Canadian music education programs. Sherratt is perhaps best known as the former Vice Chair and Chief Operating Officer of CHUM Limited and is credited for helping to build the organization into one of Canada's leading media conglomerates. Fred Sherratt's significant contributions to the broadcasting industry have garnered him recognition and numerous awards over his distinguished career. In 2008, Sherratt became the inaugural recipient of the Ontario Association of Broadcasters Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted to the Broadcast Hall of Fame in 1995 by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters. He has also been awarded the CAB Distinguished Service Gold Ribbon Award in 1984, and in 1993 received the Ted Rogers Senior/Velma Rogers Graham Award for his pioneering spirit and contributions to the broadcasting system. Sherratt began his broadcasting career in 1948 as an announcer in Truro, Nova Scotia, before moving to Ontario to work in the broadcasting division of the Thomson newspapers. In 1956, he co-founded and launched a brand new radio station in Simcoe, Ontario, AM 1560 CFRS. By 1960, Sherratt became associated with CHUM Limited operating its newly acquired station, CKPT in Peterborough, ON. He returned to Nova Scotia in 1965 when CHUM Limited acquired CJCH Radio Halifax. In 1969, he was appointed Vice President Programming and Operations and a Director of CHUM Limited and moved to Toronto. In 1971, Sherratt partnered with CHUM Limited and a group of Nova Scotia investors to purchase CJCH-TV, which he subsequently developed into the Atlantic Television System (ATV). After a decade of building the brand, ATV launched the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN), the first advertiser-supported, satellite-delivered television service of its kind that essentially operated without any broadcast transmitters. ASN also served as the Educational Television Service in Atlantic Canada through a unique public/private partnership of universities, governments and CHUM. Sherratt continued to work as a Director of CTV Television Network Limited during the years that CHUM owned ATV. After nearly four decades since becoming involved with CHUM Limited, Sherratt retired from his role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in September 2000 when he was appointed Vice Chair of the company, a position he held for three years. Sherratt continues to actively participate in industry affairs and has served on the boards and committees of most major broadcasting associations in Canada. He was a Director and member of the Executive Committee of Canadian Association of Broadcasters as well as the Television Bureau of Canada, and served a three-year term as Chairman of the Board of BBM, Bureau of Broadcast Measurement. He was also a Director of Balmur Entertainment Ltd., founded by Canadian songbird Anne Murray, overseeing its music television properties, song catalogue and record production activities. Sherratt currently serves on the Board of Governors of Trent University. For a complete list of Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award recipients, go to www.junoawards.ca. A high-resolution photo of Fred Sherratt is also available for download on the JUNO Awards website. Sponsors of The 2009 JUNO Awards include FACTOR, Canada's Private Radio Broadcasters and the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage's "Canada Music Fund," The Province of British Columbia, The City of Vancouver, Music BC and Radio Starmaker Fund.
