Alexandra Stréliski
2020-2021 Annual Report feature
Story
The success of Alexandra Stréliski’s neo-classical album Inscape has been extraordinary. Inscape was released in October 2018 and achieved Platinum Record status in Canada in July 2020, as well as being one of the top 3 highest selling records in Quebec in 2019 and 2020. In 2020, Alexandra was awarded the JUNO for Instrumental Album of the Year, two Félix awards for Female Artist of the Year and “Quebec artist achieving the most success outside Quebec.” She was also awarded the “Billet d’argent” for her tour of Inscape, signifying 25,000 concert tickets sold in Québec.
Stréliski continues to touch fans through various means: in December 2020, Alexandra released an immersive 3D video for her song “Burnout Fugue” and, in the winter of 2020-2021, participated in two immersive projects: “Asteria”—a genuine virtual-reality journey into the world of Alexandra Stréliski and “OASIS Immersion”—a contactless walkthrough exhibition in Montreal featuring Stréliski and astronaut David Saint-Jacques.
FACTOR funding has allowed Inscape to be supported by strong marketing initiatives, as well as permitted Stréliski to explore and develop international markets through showcase appearances, ever-broadening the reach of her innovative compositions and emotionally moving live performances.
