Montreal<\/strong>, October 7, 2020<\/strong> – In a motion to be tabled at the October Municipal Council meeting, Ensemble Montr\u00e9al will propose that Place des Festivals in downtown Montr\u00e9al be renamed after Oscar Peterson, as a tribute to this world-renowned Montr\u00e9al pianist and composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1925, Oscar Peterson\u2019s career extended over more than 60 years, during which he made more than 200 recordings and won many awards including eight Grammy Awards. He passed away in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the least we can do to honour such a jazz legend, a man considered to be one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. This Montrealer by birth, raised in the Little Burgundy neighbourhood with his brothers and sisters, richly deserves his place in Montr\u00e9al\u2019s toponymy, in thanks for all the prestige he bestowed upon our great city and on Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Black community\u201d, declared Leader of the Official Opposition Mr. Lionel Perez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place des Festivals, inaugurated in 2009 and situated on Rue Jeanne-Mance between Boulevard De Maisonneuve and Rue Sainte-Catherine, is closely tied to the Montr\u00e9al International Jazz Festival (MIJF), where Oscar Peterson performed many times before his Montr\u00e9al fans. In fact, the MIJF created an annual Oscar Peterson Award in 1990 to \u201crecognize a performer\u2019s musicianship and exceptional contribution to the development of Canadian jazz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLinking my husband\u2019s name with this marvellous, world-renowned Montreal Jazz site is fantastic. Montreal is his hometown. This is where he learned to play the piano, where he gave his first concerts. Montreal was the springboard to his exceptional international career, and the city he proudly recognized throughout his life. I\u2019m so very grateful for the efforts being made to honour his memory and his legacy with dignity. Oscar would be deeply humbled and honoured to be remembered in this way\u201d, said his widow, Mrs. Kelly Peterson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensemble Montr\u00e9al\u2019s initiative comes as the result of a grass-roots movement that in recent months has called for the City of Montr\u00e9al to give greater recognition to virtuoso Oscar Peterson\u2019s achievements. Launched early this summer by Mr. Naveed Hussain, an online petition requested that the Lionel-Groulx metro station, located in Little Burgundy, be renamed \u201cOscar Peterson.\u201d The petition amassed over 27,000 signatures, but the author\u2019s request was refused by the City and the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de Montr\u00e9al (STM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOscar Peterson deserves recognition equal in stature to his achievements, and to the sense of pride he brought to Montrealers and the Black community in particular. That’s why I enthusiastically support Ensemble Montr\u00e9al\u2019s proposal to associate his name with one of downtown\u2019s most visible locations. This being said, I will continue my own efforts so we can also truly honour him in his home neighbourhood of Little Burgundy,\u201d remarked Mr. Hussain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion will be debated at the Municipal Council\u2019s October 19 session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Motion to rename Place des Festivals in honour of Montr\u00e9al virtuoso Oscar Peterson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, world renowned jazz pianist and composer, was born in Montr\u00e9al in 1925 and has contributed to the worldwide artistic and cultural renown of our great city, and his legacy still resonates today;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> in the course of his over-60-year career, Oscar Peterson made more than 200 recordings, gave thousands of concerts and won many awards, including eight Grammy Awards and has also received Canada\u2019s and Quebec\u2019s highest civilian honours;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> in 2009, the current administration at the time renamed a park in the Sud-Ouest borough in honour of celebrated musician Oscar Peterson, and by the same action, honoured the entire Black community of Little Burgundy, in which district the virtuoso grew up;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> the toponymy of a city has a strong symbolic content, since it testifies to the involvement of a person, or even an entire community, in its development;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong>, in solidarity with the Black community, which has enriched and continues to enrich Montr\u00e9al\u2019s cultural diversity, the City of Montr\u00e9al owes this notable person a greater honour;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> on June 23, 2020, a resident launched an online petition to rename the Lionel-Groulx Metro station after Oscar Peterson, and that so far, the petition is supported by nearly 26,000 residents;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> at its inauguration in 2009, Place des festivals in downtown Montr\u00e9al became the epicentre of the Festival International de Jazz de Montr\u00e9al, a world-famous event that celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> Oscar Peterson was and is still an integral part of the Festival International de Jazz de Montr\u00e9al through, among other things, the creation on their 10th anniversary in 1989 of the Oscar-Peterson Award;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas<\/strong> in renaming Place des Festivals in the name of Oscar Peterson, the City of Montr\u00e9al will once again pay tribute to the virtuoso and more broadly reflect the contribution of the Black community to the development of Montr\u00e9al;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is proposed by<\/strong> Lionel Perez, leader of the official opposition and City councillor for the district of Darlington;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And seconded by<\/strong> Josu\u00e9 Corvil, City councillor for the district of Saint-Michel, and Chantal Rossi, City councillor for the district of Ovide-Clermont<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That<\/strong> the Municipal Council adopt a resolution to rename Place des Festivals in the Borough of Ville-Marie as \u201cPlace Oscar Peterson\u201d in honour of the celebrated Montr\u00e9al pianist and of the Montr\u00e9al Black community which has contributed and continues to contribute to the cultural, artistic, socio-economic and heritage wealth of the City of Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
