Charles Aznavour would have turned 100 this year. And it’s in Montreal – on the very day of his 100th birthday, May 22 – that you’re invited to celebrate!

In a brand-new version for symphony orchestra, under the direction of Jean-Michel Malouf and with arrangements by Nobuyuki Nakajima (Birkin and Piaf Symphonic), singer Jules Grison returns, this time surrounded by over 50 musicians, to once again thrill Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier with his most beautiful songs.

Producer Gil Marsalla (Directo Prod) from Nice has chosen to bring this unforgettable concert to Montreal. This city that Charles Aznavour loved and celebrated so much, will host a memorable evening to honor the 100th birthday of this artist, a legend of the universal musical heritage.

Aznavour 100 is produced by the sole company Directo Productions and is distinct from any concert or show produced by the Aznavour Foundation or members of Charles Aznavour’s family.

Reviews

Un bijou dont aurait été fier Charles Aznavour.

— Radio-Canada (Montréal)

Jules Grison a un talent rare et exceptionnel.

— Times Square Chronicles (New York)

Le plus beau spectacle sur la carrière de Charles Aznavour.

— Nice Matin (France)

On peut dire de Jules Grison qu’il est un performeur accompli.[…] Il nous a subjugués avec son interprétation en duo avec Betti Guiffray, la violoniste, de Et pourtant sur un rythme sud-américain. Il bougeait aussi très bien lors de son interprétation de Pour faire un jam en se déhanchant aux côtés de la contrebassiste Sophie Desvergnes . […] Je ne pense pas qu’il y ait eu une seule personne qui soit sortie de là avec une moue désapprobatrice.
