Kcenia Koutorjevski is “a force to be reckoned with” (NCOC). The young Russian-Canadian mezzo-soprano, praised for her “rich vocal tones” (The Beach Metro), is rapidly establishing herself within Canada's opera scene. She has performed an impressive range of roles across the country including, Carmen (Carmen - Bizet), Dorabella (Così fan tutte, Mozart), Julius Caesar (Julius Caesar, Handel), Ruggiero (Alcina, Handel), and Madame de la Haltière (Cendrillon, Massanet).

​

​She is the recipient of numerous distinctions, including the London Opera Guild Scholarship, the Adrianne Pieczonka Award for Vocal Excellence, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and in 2025 was a finalist in the National Capital Opera Competition.

​

Drawn to classical music from an early age, Kcenia continues to channel that early spark into her artistic life. Beyond the stage, she teaches voice and piano in Toronto. Kcenia is dedicated to making opera and classical music accessible, connective, and relevant to today’s audiences.

 

Kcenia holds an ARCT in piano performance and completed her Master’s in Operatic Performance at the University of Toronto in 2025 under the mentorship of Elizabeth McDonald. For inquiries into piano and voice lessons, please click here.
