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.
