FROM YEREVAN to MONTRÉAL with Aline Kutan, Soprano Available for Viewing on Demand from March 9 to March 23 FROM YEREVAN TO MONTRÉAL With Aline Kutan, Soprano Available for viewing on demand from March 9 to March 23 Montreal, February 10, 2021 – From March 9 to 23, Armenia will be in the spotlight as the Orchestre classique de Montréal presents beloved Armenian-Canadian soprano Aline Kutan, under the baton of Maestro Boris Brott. The concert will feature three Armenian composers: Aram Khatchaturyan, Kevork Andonian and Armen Tigranian. Two works by renowned Montreal composer and OCM founder, Alexander Brott, will round out the program, broadcast live from Salle Pierre-Mercure on Tuesday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. and available for on-demand viewing until March 23. The evening will include arias and excerpts from Armen Tigranian’s opera, Anoush, marking Aline Kutan’s return to the title role which she performed in 2001 at the Michigan Opera Theatre and in 2008 at the Yerevan Opera House, Armenia’s National Opera Theatre. Aline will also sing Alexander Brott’s tuneful and nostalgic Songs of Contemplation, including Cradle Song, dedicated to the composer’s wife Lotte upon the birth of their eldest son Boris, now OCM’s Artistic Director. The OCM is especially pleased to present the world premiere of Revival by Armenian-Canadian composer Kevork Andonian. A portion of the concert’s proceeds will go to the Atken Armenian Foundation to support music programs for underprivileged children in Armenia. Aline Kutan has appeared on the world’s greatest opera and concert stages over the course of her distinguished 20-year career. Winner of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera Competition in 1995, her acclaimed performances of Lakmé (Lakmé) and The Queen of the Night (The Magic Flute) have taken her to the world’s leading opera houses, including the Paris Opera, the Opéra de Montréal, the Opéra National de Bordeaux, La Scala in Milan, the Glyndebourne Festival, and the Teatro Colon. Aline Kutan also takes great pleasure in teaching the next generation of singers as a voice instructor at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, in addition to her numerous master classes.

  • The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014
    The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 by Min-Jeong Koh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Min-Jeong Koh 2014 The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 Min-Jeong Koh Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This paper examines the proliferation of string quartets in Canada between 1991 and 2014. The year 1991 is a pivotal one: it was the end of a Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada with the conclusion of the activities of the Orford, Vághy, and Purcell Quartets. It marked, also, the beginning of a New Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada. Similar to their predecessors, the quartets of this new era have different levels of international success, but one could call it a New Golden Age from the sheer number of professional ensembles active in Canada from 1991 onward. The thesis begins with biographies of leading ensembles of this period: the Alcan, Arthur Leblanc, Claudel-Canimex, St. Lawrence, Lafayette, Penderecki, Molinari, Bozzini, Borealis, Tokai, Silverbirch, Cecilia, Afiara, and the New Orford Quartets. The fourth chapter researches the opportunities available to string quartets in Canada, including the Banff International String Quartet Competition. To supplement the biographies and to gain additional insight on the available resources, eight quartet players participated in interviews. Findings emphasize the need to create more support for Canadian musicians, including both professional ensembles and also young aspiring quartet ensembles, to stay in Canada.
