Honour Michael’s incredible contributions to Concordia and support the next generation of musicians in his memory.
The Concordia community mourns the loss of a longtime colleague, professor and friend, Michael Pinsonneault.
A faculty member in the Department of Music — now the School of Perfomance — since the 1990s, Michael’s unique spirit encouraged confidence in both students and teachers alike, fostering collaboration and connections across musical practices from jazz education and electroacoustic composition to modular synthesis and songwriting — and everything in between.
“Michael was a central figure in our community, embodying compassion and ethical integrity in every interaction. His presence brought us together, and ‘Love and Light’ perfectly encapsulates what he represented to us in the music department. His absence leaves a void, and through this award, we hope to keep his loving, supportive energy and influence with us for many years to come. Join me in supporting the award with a donation today.”
– Eldad Tsabary, associate dean, Research and Graduate Studies, Faculty of Fine Arts
