Music and Truffles 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES The untimely death of cellist Kristine Bogyo, founder and artistic director of Mooredale Concerts, the Mooredale Youth Orchestras and the Music & Truffles series for young children, has deeply saddened everyone she touched with her soulful music-making and tireless devotion to her projects. It was unthinkable to let these splendid assets to Toronto’s musical community perish with her, just as they were reaching new heights of success. Music and Truffles sold out for the third year in a row on subscriptions alone. Ms. Bogyo’s celebrated husband, pianist Anton Kuerti, has taken over the artistic direction of all three organizations, and will attempt to preserve the spirited and warm-hearted atmosphere that she managed to conjure. Highlights this season include the winners of the Mooredale Concerto Competition (winners will perform with an orchestra of TSO members); the stellar vocal group Nordic Voices; the Tokai Quartet; an event featuring some of Ms. Bogyo’s favourite chamber music companions – Erika Raum, Scott St. John, Olivier Thouin and Sharon Wei – and Anton Kuerti performing Beethoven’s rarely heard Diabelli Variations Anton Kuerti, artistic director 416-587-9411 mooredaleconcerts@sympatico.ca www.mooredaleconcerts.com |
