OTTAWA, October 8, 2019 â Eight young performing arts students will receive grants this year from The Hnatyshyn Foundation, supporting their studies for the 2019â20 academic year. This brings the amount invested in post-secondary grants for performing artists to more than $1 million since the Foundation began programming in 2005.
The awards include seven $10,000 grants for Developing Artists, and one $15,000 fellowship for a Young Conductor, presented in partnership with the Schulich School of Music at McGill University in Montreal.
Announcing the winners in Ottawa today, Gerda Hnatyshyn, C.C., President of The Hnatyshyn Foundation, said, âThe Hnatyshyn Foundation is pleased to celebrate the accomplishments and promise of these extraordinary young performers. By providing this financial support we are, at the most fundamental level, investing in the development of the world-class artists of tomorrow. We are also proud of our association with the Schulich School of Music and the Decker family towards helping remarkable young talents pursue their studies at one of the worldâs finest educational institutions.â
Through these programs, The Hnatyshyn Foundation continues to extend its support to exceptionally talented young Canadian students in the performing arts. âWe are very grateful to The Hnatyshyn Foundation for partnering with us in supporting training of the next generation of Canadian conductors,â said Professor StĂ©phane Lemelin, Chair of the Department of Performance at the Schulich School of Music.
All of the winners were selected by expert juries from across Canada. The Hnatyshyn Foundation sincerely thanks all the jurors for their generous assistance.
Recipients of 2019 Developing Artist Grants
Yu Kai Sun of Montreal received this yearâs award for Classical Music â Orchestral Instrument. Yu Kai is entering her final year in the Bachelor of Music (Honours) Program at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, under the tutelage of Professor Victor Danchenko. She has recently appeared as a soloist with the Mississauga Symphony, the York Symphony, and the Oakville Chamber and North York Concert Orchestras.
âI am absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive The Hnatyshyn Foundation Developing Artist Grant. This prize will serve as important financial support in the development of my musical career. It will help me with expenses related to national and international competitions, as well as my upcoming graduate school applications to music schools in Canada, the U.S. and European countries.â
Zhan Hong Xiao of Montreal received the award in Classical Music â Piano. Born in China, he discovered music at the MaĂźtrise des Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal when he was nine years old. In 2014, he began classes with Richard Raymond at the the Montreal Conservatory of Music.
âI would like to sincerely thank the Hnatyshyn Foundation for believing in me, and for presenting me with this generous award for studies in classical piano. This grant is particularly helpful as I begin my career, and I will always be deeply grateful. It warms my heart to know that there are organizations like this which support and encourage artistic development.â
Evan Gratham of North Vancouver is the winner of the Oscar Peterson Grant for Jazz Performance. A bassist, composer and arranger, Evan has just begun his fourth year in the Bachelor of Jazz Performance program at the University of Toronto. He has been the recipient of numerous music awards, and is especially proud of the ones named in honour of some of Canadaâs jazz pioneers: the Fraser McPherson Scholarship, the Phil Nimmons Outstanding Jazz Performer Award, and now the Oscar Peterson Developing Artist Grant.
âAt its best, jazz is a model of what our society can aspire to. Everyone brings their own experiences, ideas, and preferences, and we have no choice but to work towards the outcome together. When we interact, negotiate, and create music together, we end up with something far greater than the sum of its parts, a melding of ideas that we have all played a role in steering towards. This is the kind of music I strive to make, as I continue to learn how my role as a bassist fits into these interactions.â
Sara Schabas of Toronto is the recipient of the grant for Classical Vocal Performance. Sara has degrees from the University of Toronto and Roosevelt University in Chicago, and has performed with numerous festivals and opera companies in North America. She is currently continuing her studies in Vienna, Austria, under the tutelage of Michael Schade.
âI am continuously awestruck by the power of the unamplified voice to transfix audiences with its visceral, vulnerable and transcendent expression of words and emotions. By studying in Vienna with Michael Schade and other world-class musicians, immersed in a different language and culture, I am developing my own toolkit to express myself with style, nuance and, hopefully, humanity.â
Marie-Maxime Ross of Rimouski, Quebec has received the grant for Contemporary Dance. The 20-year-old performer is about to begin her third and final year at the Ăcole de danse contemporaine de MontrĂ©al.
âFor me, the most important thing is to be able, through dance, to help people rediscover and recentre themselves, because it is dance that truly brought me to life. Dancing is a great discipline, allowing us to learn more about ourselves, and often accessing parts of ourselves that we thought were lost. We are at our most vulnerable when we pour all that we are into the thing we are most passionate about.â
Ivy Charles of Winnipeg and Vancouver has received the award for Acting â English Theatre. Ivy returns this fall to complete her acting studies at Studio 58 in Vancouver.
âI want young girls who look like me to feel represented in this field â an opportunity I did not have. This grant allows me to pursue this goal and share my passion.â
Laurence GagnĂ©-FrĂ©geau of Quebec City has received the award for Acting â French Theatre. She is starting her final year in performance at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de QuĂ©bec. Before even starting school, she had already become known for her appearances in several short films. Her artistic journey has also involved her participation in a wide range of artistic projects, as well as the Festival OFF FEQ.
âI am extremely grateful to have fallen in love with theatre at a very young age, and to have been able to further develop the pleasure I take in performing. Early on, I was fortunate enough to connect with my feelings, my passion, and my willingness to take a leap into the unknown. I want people to be moved by my work, to be affected somehow. I want them to be worried, take action, ask questions, become interested in something, be curious, run towards one another, encounter one another, interact, and reflect.â
Recipient of the 2019 Christa and Franz-Paul Decker Fellowship in Conducting
Francis ChoiniĂšre of Montreal is the second recipient of The Hnatyshyn Foundation and Christa and Franz-Paul Decker Fellowship in Conducting. Francis is a promising young conductor, as well as a versatile musician, who is active as a choral and orchestral conductor, concert producer, pianist, composer, and baritone. In addition, he is the co-founder of the Orchestre Philharmonique et Choeur des MĂ©lomanes (OPCM) with Elie Boissinot, Artistic Director of LâEnsemble Vocal Trame Sonore, Conductor of the Choeur Fernand Lindsay for the Festival de LanaudiĂšre, and chorus master for several concerts at the Bell Centre featuring, among others: Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, Hans Zimmer and Ramin Djawadi. Highly engaged in Montrealâs music scene, Francis is also the co-founder and President of GFN Productions, a production company presenting high-calibre concerts at Montrealâs finest venues.
âMy passion for the choral and orchestral repertoire is what has always driven me to become a conductor. Receiving The Hnatyshyn Foundation Conductorâs Fellowship is a great honour, and allows me to dedicate my time to meaningful projects that help advance my career.â

Les laurĂ©ats des bourses dâĂ©tudes pour jeunes artistes 2019
Yu Kai Sun, de MontrĂ©al, reçoit la bourse en musique classique â instrument dâorchestre. Elle entame sa derniĂšre annĂ©e dâun baccalaurĂ©at spĂ©cialisĂ© en musique Ă lâĂcole Glenn Gould School du Conservatoire royal de musique de Toronto, sous la direction du professeur Victor Danchenko. Elle sâest rĂ©cemment produite comme soliste avec les orchestres symphoniques de Mississauga et de York, lâOrchestre de chambre dâOakville et lâOrchestre de concert de North York.
« Je suis trĂšs honorĂ©e et ravie de recevoir une bourse dâĂ©tudes pour jeunes artistes de la Fondation Hnatyshyn. Cette bourse contribuera grandement au dĂ©veloppement de ma carriĂšre musicale. Elle aidera Ă couvrir mes dĂ©penses pour divers concours nationaux et internationaux de mĂȘme que pour les demandes dâadmission aux Ă©tudes supĂ©rieures que jâentends prĂ©senter au Canada, aux Ătats-Unis et en Europe. »
Zhan Hong Xiao, de MontrĂ©al, obtient la bourse en musique classique â piano. NĂ© en Chine, il a dĂ©couvert la musique Ă la MaĂźtrise des Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal Ă lâĂąge de neuf ans. En 2014, il a Ă©tĂ© admis au Conservatoire de musique de MontrĂ©al, dans la classe de Richard Raymond.
« Je tiens sincĂšrement Ă remercier la Fondation Hnatyshyn de croire en moi et de mâoctroyer leur gĂ©nĂ©reuse bourse dâĂ©tudes en piano classique. Ce prix me procure une aide immense en ce dĂ©but de carriĂšre et je vous en serai toujours reconnaissant. Cela me fait chaud au cĆur de constater quâil y a des organismes comme le vĂŽtre qui soutiennent et encouragent la relĂšve artistique. »
Evan Gratham, de North Vancouver, remporte la bourse Oscar Peterson en interprĂ©tation jazz. Bassiste, compositeur et arrangeur, il entame sa quatriĂšme annĂ©e dâun baccalaurĂ©at en interprĂ©tation jazz Ă lâUniversitĂ© de Toronto. De nombreux prix musicaux lui ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©cernĂ©s et il est particuliĂšrement fier de ceux nommĂ©s en la mĂ©moire de quelques-uns des pionniers de la musique jazz au Canada : la bourse Fraser McPherson, la bourse du remarquable interprĂšte jazz Phil Nimmons et maintenant la bourse pour jeunes artistes Oscar Peterson.
« Ă son meilleur, le jazz est un modĂšle de ce Ă quoi peut aspirer notre sociĂ©tĂ©. Chacun apporte ses propres expĂ©riences, idĂ©es et prĂ©fĂ©rences, et nous nâavons dâautre choix que de travailler ensemble Ă en tirer quelque chose. Quand nous interagissons, nĂ©gocions et crĂ©ons de la musique ensemble, nous obtenons quelque chose de bien plus grand que la somme de ses parties, un amalgame dâidĂ©es que nous avons tous contribuĂ© Ă faire converger. VoilĂ le genre de musique que jâai envie de faire et je continue dâapprendre comment mon rĂŽle en tant que bassiste sâintĂšgre Ă ces interactions. »
Sara Schabas, de Toronto, reçoit la bourse dâĂ©tudes en interprĂ©tation vocale classique. DiplĂŽmĂ©e de lâUniversitĂ© de Toronto et de lâUniversitĂ© Roosevelt de Chicago, elle sâest produite avec nombre de festivals et de compagnies dâopĂ©ra en AmĂ©rique du Nord. Elle poursuit prĂ©sentement ses Ă©tudes Ă Vienne, en Autriche, sous la direction de Michael Schade.
« Je suis toujours stupĂ©fiĂ©e par la capacitĂ© quâa une voix non amplifiĂ©e de captiver un public grĂące Ă son expression viscĂ©rale, vulnĂ©rable et transcendante des mots et des Ă©motions. En Ă©tudiant Ă Vienne avec Michael Schade et dâautres musiciens de calibre mondial, et en Ă©tant immergĂ©e dans une autre langue et une autre culture, je dĂ©veloppe mon propre coffre Ă outils pour mâexprimer avec style, nuance et, je lâespĂšre, humanitĂ©. »
Marie-Maxime Ross, de Rimouski au QuĂ©bec, reçoit la bourse en danse contemporaine. LâinterprĂšte de 20 ans entreprend sa troisiĂšme et derniĂšre annĂ©e au sein de lâĂcole de danse contemporaine de MontrĂ©al.
« Lâaspect le plus important pour moi est dâamener les gens, par la danse, Ă se dĂ©couvrir et Ă se recentrer, car câest ce que la danse mâa permis de vivre. Cet art est une grande expĂ©rience oĂč lâon en apprend toujours plus sur soi-mĂȘme et qui arrive Ă toucher des parties que nous pensions inconnues de notre esprit. La plus grande vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© est dâinvestir tout ce que nous avons dans ce qui nous passionne. »
Ivy Charles, de Winnipeg et Vancouver, est la laurĂ©ate de la bourse en interprĂ©tation dramatique â théùtre anglais. Elle terminera cet automne ses Ă©tudes au Studio 58 de Vancouver.
« Je souhaite que les jeunes filles qui me ressemblent se sentent reprĂ©sentĂ©es dans ce domaine. Il sâagit dâune chance que je nâai pas eue. Cette bourse me permettra de poursuivre cet objectif et de partager ma passion. »
Laurence GagnĂ©-FrĂ©geau, de QuĂ©bec, est la laurĂ©ate de la bourse dâĂ©tudes en interprĂ©tation dramatique â théùtre français. Elle entame sa derniĂšre annĂ©e en jeu au Conservatoire dâart dramatique de QuĂ©bec. Cette interprĂšte sâest illustrĂ©e Ă travers quelques courts mĂ©trages avant mĂȘme son entrĂ©e Ă lâĂ©cole. Son parcours lui a Ă©galement permis de participer Ă un Ă©ventail de projets artistiques et au Festival OFF de QuĂ©bec.
« Je suis terriblement reconnaissante dâĂȘtre tombĂ©e amoureuse du théùtre trĂšs jeune et dâavoir dĂ©veloppĂ© ce plaisir ardent de jouer. Dâavoir rapidement Ă©tĂ© en contact avec ma sensibilitĂ©, ma fougue et mon Ă©lan vers lâautre. Je souhaite toucher les gens dans mon approche, les contaminer en quelque sorte. Quâils se sentent concernĂ©s, quâils se mobilisent, quâils se questionnent, quâils sâintĂ©ressent, quâils soient curieux, quâils courent les uns vers les autres, quâils se rencontrent, quâils Ă©changent, quâils rĂ©flĂ©chissent. »
Le laurĂ©at 2019 de la Bourse en direction dâorchestre Christa et Franz-Paul Decker
Francis ChoiniĂšre, de MontrĂ©al, est le second laurĂ©at de la Bourse en direction dâorchestre Fondation Hnatyshyn â Christa et Franz-Paul Decker.

Il est Ă©galement cofondateur et prĂ©sident des Productions GFN, une compagnie de production qui prĂ©sente des concerts de haut niveau dans les meilleures salles de MontrĂ©al.
« Ma passion pour le rĂ©pertoire choral et orchestral me pousse depuis toujours Ă devenir chef. Câest pour moi un grand honneur de recevoir la Bourse en direction dâorchestre de la Fondation Hnatyshyn; elle me permettra de me consacrer Ă des projets qui feront avancer ma carriĂšre. »
