Honorary Gala Presidents Marie Christine Tremblay and Jacques Marchand thank you for joining us to commemorate the life, legacy, and vision of one of Canada’s greatest arts visionaries and conductors: Maestro Boris Brott.

The Orchestre classique de Montréal’s 2022 benefit gala took place on Tuesday June 14, 2022 at 6:00 PM in the Picasso Ballroom of the Sofitel Montréal Golden Mile Hotel. The Gala was hosted by Sonia Benezra, a well-known Quebec TV host and actor, and featured great artists such as violinist Marc Djokic, pianist Jean-Philippe Sylvestre, sopranos Sharon Azrieli and Aline Kutan, and the musicians of the OCM under the baton of Geneviève Leclair, a protégée of Boris Brott.

The evening included cocktails and a gourmet four-course dinner prepared by Chef Olivier Perret during an event at which we paid tribute to our beloved artistic director who was tragically taken from us too soon. We shared memories and testimonies of this dear man and also shared plans for the continuation of his vision for the OCM, including our 83rd season: Lyric & Eclectic.

Additionally, we thank you for participating in our virtual auction, generously sponsored by Gluskin Sheff.
