    Max Stern

    Max Stern, CM, art dealer, gallery owner (born 18 April 1904 in München-Gladbach [now Mönchengladbach], Germany; died 28 May 1987 in Paris, France). Max Stern was a Jewish art dealer and gallery owner. He fled Nazi persecution in Germany before the Second World War. By the late 1940s, he and his wife owned the prestigious Dominion Gallery in Montreal. It was one of the first galleries to champion Canadian artists. In his later years, Stern spent much of his time tracking down artworks that had belonged his family. That effort continues through the Max Stern Art Restitution Project.

    Maynard Ferguson

    Maynard Ferguson, CM, jazz trumpeter, bandleader, flugelhornist, trombonist (born 4 May 1928 in Verdun, QC; died 23 August 2006 in Ventura, California). Maynard Ferguson stood second only to Oscar Peterson among the most popular Canadian jazz musicians. With a remarkable facility in the trumpet’s highest register as his trademark, Ferguson firmly established himself as a featured soloist. He made records under his own name starting in 1950 and won the Down Beat readers’ polls for trumpet three years in a row (1950–52). However, he was sometimes dismissed by critics due to his flamboyant playing and performance style. He was inducted into the Down Beat Hall of Fame and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and was a Member of the Order of Canada.
