Conclusion

Therefore, it is with great admiration and appreciation; under the title of “People helping people ”,  that my January 2022 “tierce de Picardie” Award goes to all those who share in the same, or a similar mission as the Me2/Orchestra.

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.
