Plus tard dans le mois, lors d’une s\u00e9rie de convocations qui se tiendront du 21 au 23 juin, l’Universit\u00e9 Concordia de Montr\u00e9al d\u00e9cernera des doctorats honorifiques \u00e0 sept \u00e9minents Canadiens, dont le compositeur, l \u00ab \u00e9crivain, l \u00bb \u00e9ducateur musical et l’environnementaliste R. Murray Schafer, premier laur\u00e9at du prix Glenn Gould (1987).<\/p>\n\n
L’un des principaux compositeurs canadiens, Schafer a \u00e9crit dans presque tous les genres musicaux : th\u00e9\u00e2tre, orchestre, chorale, chant et musique de chambre, ses dix quatuors \u00e0 cordes occupant une place importante dans le r\u00e9pertoire. Pionnier dans le domaine de l’\u00e9cologie acoustique, Schafer est l’auteur de The Tuning of the World (1977), un ouvrage documentant les r\u00e9sultats de son World Soundscape Project. <\/p>\n\n
N\u00e9 \u00e0 Sarnia (Ontario) en 1933, Schafer obtient une licence de piano \u00e0 la Royal Schools of Music de Londres. Au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1950, il \u00e9tudie le piano au Royal Conservatory of Music – alors le Toronto Conservatory of Music – avec Alberto Guerrero, qui avait enseign\u00e9 quelques ann\u00e9es plus t\u00f4t \u00e0 Glenn Gould. C’est \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque que Schafer \u00e9tudie \u00e9galement pendant une br\u00e8ve p\u00e9riode \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 de Toronto, o\u00f9 il entre en contact avec Marshall McLuhan, l’une des influences les plus durables et les plus significatives sur le d\u00e9veloppement intellectuel du jeune compositeur. <\/p>\n\n
R\u00e9cipiendaire de nombreux prix et distinctions, dont le Prix Molson pour les arts du Conseil des Arts du Canada (1993), le Prix Louis Applebaum des compositeurs (1999), le Prix de la musique de concert Jan V. Matejcek de la SOCAN (2001) et le Prix du Gouverneur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral pour les arts de la sc\u00e8ne (2009), M. Schafer est devenu le premier laur\u00e9at du Prix Glenn Gould – une r\u00e9compense internationale que le Toronto Star a r\u00e9cemment qualifi\u00e9e de \u00ab\u00a0prix Nobel des arts\u00a0\u00bb – apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 par un \u00e9minent jury international pr\u00e9sid\u00e9 par Maureen Forrester, ic\u00f4ne canadienne de l’op\u00e9ra. Lors de la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie de remise des prix, le regrett\u00e9 Sir Yehudi Menuhin – membre du jury, devenu par la suite laur\u00e9at du deuxi\u00e8me prix Glenn Gould – a fait l’\u00e9loge de Schafer pour son \u00ab\u00a0imagination et son intellect forts, bienveillants et extr\u00eamement originaux, une puissance dynamique dont les multiples expressions et aspirations personnelles sont en accord total avec les besoins urgents et les r\u00eaves de l’humanit\u00e9 d’aujourd’hui\u00a0\u00bb. <\/p>\n\n
