In May of 2010 Wallace Hammond, Sound Symposium's Technical Director, musician, composer, and sound man extraordinare was been named the recipient of the 2009 Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council's Patron of the Arts Award.
When people in the arts community heard that Sound Symposium had nominated Wallace for the award, there was an unprecedented outpouring of letters of support for him to receive that honour.
No other person has done more for arts and artists of this province than has Wallace Hammond. Both as a musician and as a technical wizard, Wallace has given generously of his time and expertise to the arts community. For well over 30 years he has been lending -- or renting at levels artists can afford - his massive store of sound and lighting equipment to bands, festivals, and performers.
