0
By on Art Song, Montreal
October 2024

Excellence, beauty and discovery. These are the keywords used by Bourgie Hall to present its new concert season. If there’s one event that brings them all together, it’s the launch of their traversal of the complete catalogue of Schubert’s Lieder. Bourgie Hall’s presentation of the complete cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach had only scarcely been completed when artistic director Olivier Godin was already thinking of another project on a similarly grand scale. There are no fewer than 600 songs born of Schubert’s genius. “It’s a very rich body of works,” he says, “and yet the public hears perhaps 20 per…

Review | Rhapsody in Blue‘s 100th: Romance and American Jazz with Jean-Philippe Sylvestre

0
By on Concert Reviews, Jazz, Montreal

George Gershwin was born on September 26, 1898; it was only fitting that his most beloved piece Rhapsody in Blue, written 100 years ago, would be celebrated in Montreal on what would have been his 126th birthday. In a night of romance and American jazz, Montérégie’s very own Jean-Philippe Sylvestre filled Maison Symphonique on Sept. 26h for a solo piano concert that also included Frédéric Chopin’s Nocturnes and Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances” from West Side Story. Sylvestre has won many awards worldwide, the First Prize and Audience Prize from the OSM Competition, the esteemed Virginia Parker Prize, and the John…

Review | Cultural Unity in the Chinese Gardens: A Lyrical Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration

0
By on City, Classical Music, Montreal, Opera, Vocal

In the lunar calendar, the 15th day of the 8th month marks the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, a celebration of the harvest moon at its fullest and brightest. This significant day is a time of gratitude in many East and Southeast Asian countries for community and the season’s bountiful harvest. This occasion also symbolizes gathering, commemoration, and harmony among people — themes prominently emphasized in Rencontre Lyrique Chine-Canada (Chinese-Canadian Lyrical Gathering), a concert held in Montreal’s beautiful Botanical Gardens on Sept. 14th.  Seven young Canadian and/or Chinese opera singers were featured, showcasing the power of music to unite cultures.

By on Montreal, Opera, Vocal
September 2024

Update (Sept. 19, 2024): Sharon Azrieli is sad to announce that she will not be performing with the Opera de Montreal in Barber of Seville due to circumstances out of her control. “I’ve waited my entire career to sing with Opéra de Montréal,” says soprano Sharon Azrieli. The wait is over!   The Montreal-born-and-raised Azrieli will be performing the piquant role of the maid Berta in Opéra de Montréal’s new production of Rossini’s The Barber of Séville (Sept. 28 through Oct. 6).  It’s a moving capstone to a remarkably varied operatic, concert and recording career. French Connection “My favourite opera…
