In 1980 Di Lauro joined the legendary Vic Vogel’s Big Band, of which he has been an integral member ever since. Two years later found him touring in Europe and joining the Denny Christianson Big Band, and in 1983 he formed the acclaimed Dave Turner/Ron Di Lauro Sextet. Within a year of hitting the scene they were opening for the VSOP quartet of Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock, Winton Marsalis and Ron Carter. Four years out of college and Di Lauro’s name was sharing posters with the gods.The rest, as they say, is history...Di Lauro's past 26 years are writ large in the annals of Montreal's musical legacy. His inimitable trumpet sound has featured on countless film, television and radio scores. He has continued as a soloist with the Vic Vogel, Joe Sullivan, and Lorraine Desmarais Big Bands, performing with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Zoot Sims, Pepper Adams, Henry Mancini, Mel Torme, Marvin Hamlisch, Tony Bennett, John Pizzarelli and Frank Sinatra Jr.. He has provided the impetus behind several of the city's premiere jazz ensembles, including the McGill Alumni Big Band with Gerald Danovitch, the James Gelfand Quintet and the Ron Di Lauro Quintet. He has performed at every major jazz venue throughout Canada and Europe; his tours have taken him to the Far East, Latin America, and most stops in between.

History[edit]

Original Le Manoir Richelieu c.1899
Le Manoir Richelieu

Inaugurated on June 24, 1994, the Casino de Charlevoix was established in the Manoir Richelieu's former summer playhouse on the cliffs of Pointe-au-Pic, a panoramic site visited by vacationers for over a century.

The current hotel was built in 1928-1929, using the Châteauesque style, by architect John Archibald to replace the original 250 room structure (1899) that was destroyed in a fire.[1]

Owned by Canada Steamship Lines, it was sold in 1966 to Warnock Hersey. In 1971, the hotel was sold to Irish football star John Dempsey, then to the provincial government in 1975 and Raymond Malenfant in 1986.

In 1998, Loto-Québec teamed up with Canadian Pacific Hotels and the Solidarity Fund QFL to acquire the Manoir Richelieu (now called Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu), renovate it and expand the Casino de Charlevoix. Reopening in June 1999, the complex has since become a world-class resort. The Casino de Charlevoix also became the first of Québec's casinos to be linked to a hotel.
