Several years ago, Gene Lees made me aware of an arranger/conductor in Canada named Marc Fortier, who was a big Robert Farnon fan. Marc and I quickly became friends, lost touch for awhile, and reunited on Facebook. He is one of the top arranger/conductors in all of Canada, whose concerts are sell-outs wherever he appears. He one of the youngest men I know, but with worlds of experiences. He also has the biggest heart imaginable. I don’t mind saying that we have a mutual admiration society between us, which makes me extraordinarily proud. Today is his birthday, and I hope he has a wonderful one. His music is represented by an excellent rental company/distributor, and anyone who conducts orchestras should check out what they have: www.cpmusiclibrary.ca. The director has the best of Canadian music, right where Marc belongs.

Marc Fortier has put together a wonderful show called Celebration 2017 for Canada’s 150th Birthday. Your orchestra should present it. Listen to samples through this link
