It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of a great singer, visionary and philanthropist. Joseph was an inspiration to me, as he was to so many singers. But more importantly, he played a central role as chairman of the advisory council of the Azrieli Music Prize. He was with me from the beginning when we created AMP in 2015 \u2013 ever more cooperative, charming, intelligent and thoughtful. He was also kind enough to help other musicians, including the Orchestre Classique de Montr\u00e9al, then the McGill Chamber Orchestra.\u00a0Joseph was really a force of nature. I can\u2019t imagine the world without him. I extend my deepest and most sincere condolences to Ren\u00e9e and her family.<\/em><\/p>\n

C\u2019est avec une immense tristesse que nous marquons le d\u00e9c\u00e8s d\u2019un grand chanteur, visionnaire et philanthrope. Joseph a \u00e9t\u00e9 une source d\u2019inspiration pour moi, comme il l\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 pour tant de chanteurs. Mais plus encore, il a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le central en tant que pr\u00e9sident du conseil consultatif des Prix Azrieli de la musique. Il \u00e9tait avec moi d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but lorsque nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 les PAM en 2015 \u2013 toujours plus coop\u00e9ratif, charmant, intelligent et r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi. Il a aussi eu la gentillesse d\u2019aider d\u2019autres musiciens, dont l\u2019Orchestre classique de Montr\u00e9al, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque l\u2019Orchestre de chambre McGill. Joseph \u00e9tait vraiment une force de la nature. Je ne peux pas imaginer le monde sans lui. J\u2019adresse mes plus sinc\u00e8res et profondes condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 Ren\u00e9e et \u00e0 sa famille.<\/em><\/p>\n

Joseph Rouleau a si\u00e9g\u00e9 au conseil d\u2019administration de l\u2019Orchestre classique de Montr\u00e9al pendant pr\u00e8s de 10 ans et en \u00e9tait le pr\u00e9sident depuis septembre 2018. En tant que directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, j\u2019ai \u00e9norm\u00e9ment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 travailler avec lui. Il \u00e9tait toujours positif et encourageant. Nous sommes tous, \u00e0 l\u2019OCM, d\u00e9vast\u00e9s par la perte de ce grand homme qui a \u00e9norm\u00e9ment fait pour l\u2019orchestre. C\u2019\u00e9tait le genre d\u2019homme qui pouvait prendre le t\u00e9l\u00e9phone et obtenir imm\u00e9diatement la contribution des ressources de financement. Il \u00e9tait tout \u00e0 fait unique. Joseph laisse un h\u00e9ritage \u00e9clatant \u00e0 l\u2019OCM et au monde des arts. Il restera \u00e0 jamais dans nos c\u0153urs. Merci pour tout, monsieur Rouleau\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n

Joseph Rouleau was on the board of directors of the\u00a0Orchestre classique de Montr\u00e9al\u00a0for close to 10 years and, since September 2018, was president. In my role as executive director, I tremendously enjoyed working with him. He was always positive and supportive.\u00a0Everyone at the OCM is devastated by the passing of this great man who helped the orchestra tremendously. He was the type of man who was able to pick up the phone and immediately get results with fundraising resources. He was truly one of kind.\u00a0Joseph leaves a shining legacy for the OCM and for the entire arts industry. He will always be in our hearts. Thank you for everything, Mr. Rouleau!<\/em><\/p>\n

Il est difficile de faire face \u00e0 la mort de Joseph alors que j\u2019entends \u00e0 l\u2019oreille de mon esprit sa voix magnifique, pleine et robuste,\u00a0comme elle l\u2019\u00e9tait si r\u00e9cemment. Le leadership de Joseph \u00e0 titre de pr\u00e9sident du conseil d\u2019administration de l\u2019Orchestre de chambre\u00a0McGill et sa transition \u00e0 l\u2019Orchestre classique de Montr\u00e9al sont les plus r\u00e9centes r\u00e9alisations d\u2019une carri\u00e8re bien remplie dont je lui serai\u00a0toujours reconnaissant. J\u2019ai \u00e9galement eu l\u2019honneur de diriger Joseph comme soliste\u00a0en\u00a0concert; un de mes souvenirs les plus chers\u00a0est\u00a0La Damnation de Faust\u00a0\u00e0 Hamilton dans les ann\u00e9es 1970. Je me consid\u00e8re\u00a0comme\u00a0tr\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 d\u2019avoir eu la chance de conna\u00eetre Joseph\u00a0davantage ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es et j\u2019ai le grand honneur de c\u00e9l\u00e9brer sa vie, maintenant et pour de nombreuses ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It is hard to come to grips with Joseph\u2019s passing as I hear in my mind\u2019s ear his magnificent voice, full and robust, as it was so recently. Joseph\u2019s leadership as Chair of the McGill Chamber Orchestra, and its transition to the Orchestre classique de Montreal, is the most recent in a lifetime of accomplishments for which I am eternally grateful. I have had the honour to conduct Joseph as a concert soloist as well; one of my most cherished memories is La Damnation de Faust in Hamilton in the 1970s. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the chance to get to know Joseph even better in recent years and it is my great honour to celebrate his life now, and for many years to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2005 I had the opportunity to conduct a concert version of Act 1 of Wagner\u2019s Die Walk\u00fcre with the McGill Symphony Orchestra at Place des Arts in Salle Pelletier. Stefano Algieri and Jane Eaglen sang the parts of Siegmund and Sieglinde. For the part of Hunding, the then 76-year-old Joseph Rouleau accepted our invitation, and although he had never sung that part before, he memorized it, sang it with immense expression and authenticity, with diction that suggested a singer of German rather than French tongue, and added some semi-staging to this otherwise concert-like performance with the kind of artistry which nobody could ever forget, on or off stage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Joseph Rouleau\u2019s dedication as president of Jeunesses Musicales and his involvement with numerous musical institutions, particularly in Montreal, is legendary, and he set an immense example not only for young singers and musicians, but in fact for all of us in the music community. He was one of our most celebrated soloists and he will be in our thoughts throughout the coming season, particularly in several MGSO concerts which include singers. Joseph Rouleau\u2019s passing is a moment of great sadness, but also of saying a deep and heartfelt \u201cthank you\u201d to a great artist and human being! Sharing my deepest sympathy with all who knew and loved him.<\/em><\/p>\n
