<strong>Bourgie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> hosts the annual Opus Awards<br />
Gala organized by the Conseil québécois de<br />

musical intern<strong>at</strong>ional de Montréal every year.<br />
This renowned event, which showcases some<br />
of the world’s most talented young artists<br />
in voice, violin and piano, has proven to be<br />
a veritable stepping stone for many highly<br />
talented performers. For some, including<br />
Charles Richard-Hamelin, Philippe Sly and<br />
Be<strong>at</strong>rice Rana, the competition proved to<br />
be the beginning of a brilliant intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
career.<br />
Many inspiring projects have emerged over<br />
the years. They include the performance in<br />
concert of all of J.S. Bach’s over 200 sacred<br />
cant<strong>at</strong>as, in 77 concerts spread over eight<br />
seasons between September 2014 and March<br />
2023. A first in Canada, this multi-year project<br />
was a formidable adventure as well as an<br />
exceptional showcase for Montreal, reflecting<br />
its st<strong>at</strong>us as a musical metropolis. Involving<br />
numerous acclaimed artists and ensembles<br />
from the Quebec and intern<strong>at</strong>ional musical<br />
communities, these concerts fe<strong>at</strong>ured 33<br />
musical ensembles (22 from Quebec, one<br />
Canadian, four American and six European)<br />
and four professional choirs, as well as 158<br />
vocal and instrumental soloists and 321<br />
instrumentalists, under the direction of 29<br />
conductors from here and abroad. Other<br />
large-scale projects include the performance<br />
by Canadian pianist Louis Lortie of Beethoven’s<br />
32 piano son<strong>at</strong>as.<br />
