Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, led by Music Director Jeanne Lamon, is one of the world’s leading period performance ensembles.  The 2001/2002 season celebrates Jeanne Lamon’s twentieth anniversary as Music Director, as well as the twentieth anniversary of the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir.  Tafelmusik is thrilled to be performing a 3-concert series at the George Weston Recital Hall this season, as well as the regular series at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre.

Highlights of the 2001/2002 season include A Choral Anniversary, a journey through three centuries of choral music, and Le Chevalier de Saint-George, which explores the music of Joseph Boulogne, a largely undiscovered Black classical composer.  Andrew Parrott, renowned English conductor and musicologist, joins Tafelmusik for an intimate and powerful performance of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion.  The Grand Tour: A Musical Journey Family Matinee is a casual family concert and a great way to introduce young people to the magic of baroque music.  

And no season would be complete without our three performances of Handel’s Messiah at Trinity-St. Paul’s, followed by the rousing Sing-Along Messiah at Massey Hall.
