Canada's Musical Treasure
In in 27th season the orchestra has been under the crisp direction of Jeanne Lamon virtually since inception. Intriguing to watch, the music is the star of the show with the audience in the palm of the musicians' hands. Each instrumentalist is a natural soloist that work well along with the truly amazing Lamon. It's enchanting to watch her throw herself into each piece her body moving in sync with the delicious sounds she creates. Tafelmusik is at home in the unpretentious and welcoming Trinity-St. Paul's United Church in Toronto. Yet the groups' fame has grown well past Canada with a hefty tour schedule taking their brilliant Baroque style around the world.
What's ahead? A twist of Mozart and Haydn - Tafelmusik welcomes Belgian violinist, violist and conductor Sigiswald Kuijken, who was both teacher and mentor to Jeanne Lamon. He will lead the Tafelmusik Orchestra through two symphonies by Mozart and Haydn. Later this month Tafelmusik will perform Mozart, Haydn & Bach with a Twist In March, under the direction of Jeanne Lamon and Ivars Taurins, Tafelmusik presents the Canadian premiere of a special concert program entitled In the Garden of Delights: Music Inspired by the Song of Songs. This original work was created by Tafelmusik double bassist Alison Mackay.
It is part of the Sacred Spaces, Sacred Circles Arts Festival, run jointly by The Toronto Consort, Doors Open Toronto and Tafelmusik with co-artistic directors Alison Mackay and David Fallis. Sacred Spaces, Sacred Circles Arts Festival, is a cross disciplinary Toronto arts festival, bringing artists of different cultures together in new creations. The performances will combine music, dance, visual art and spoken word. Tafelmusik has an additional treasure. His name is Derek, and he is the vivaciously fun music fan found at Tafelmusik's Box Office, which can be found at their Trinity-St. Paul's United church home. His window is the first stop for a true music pleasure. Be sure to have warm greetings for the merry band of volunteers whose dedication add to the evening's charm while helping Tafelmusik focus on what they do best: bringing music to appreciative ears.
