N. B.: The "tierce de Picardie" Award is given to those who are often seen as “minor” in a performance. Yet, once the final chord is struck during the cadence of the piece, said “minor" transform into “major” players, performers, and/or voices in our Musical society today; bringing a myriad of colours, intensities, and overtones of a musical palette to the forefront.
