Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra
2004-2005 Profile

 
Tafelmusik’s 2004/2005 Season, “Music That Transforms”

   Highlights of the season include Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, A French Baroque Christmas, Metamorphosis: From Myth to Music including a special family matinee with narration by R.H. Thomson, and Handel’s Deborah.

   Guest artists include the energetic recorder virtuoso Marion Verbruggen; luminous soprano Emma Kirkby; the dazzling violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch; Canada’s own countertenor and rising star, Matthew White; and many more.

   Tafelmusik’s 2004/2005 Season is also filled with exciting recording activities: in October the orchestra will be recording Beethoven’s 5th and 6th symphonies, as well as a collection of baroque concertos. On September 21, CBC Records and Tafelmusik will release Cleopatra with Isabel Bayrakdarian, a collection of baroque opera arias sung by Ms. Bayrakdarian and accompanied by Tafelmusik.

   Finally, no season would be complete without Handel’s Messiah at Trinity-St. Paul’s followed by the Sing-Along Messiah at Massey Hall.

   Tafelmusik is thrilled to continue its 3-concert series at the George Weston Recital Hall, as well as the 10-concert series at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre.
