Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra

Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, a Canadian gem in the realm of period performance, has established itself as one of the world's leading ensembles specializing in early music. Founded in Toronto in 1979, the group has blossomed under the artistic direction of violinist Jeanne Lamon from 1981 to 2014, and subsequently under the leadership of Music Director Elisa Citterio. Renowned for its dynamic and soulful performances, Tafelmusik performs baroque and classical masterpieces on period instruments, aiming to recreate the sound and style of the music as it was originally conceived.

Through an impressive catalog of recordings, international tours, and innovative educational and audience engagement initiatives, Tafelmusik has garnered both critical and audience acclaim. With a discography featuring more than 80 titles, their diverse and richly curated selection spans an array of composers and genres. From their nuanced renditions of Vivaldi, showcased in projects such as "Vivaldi con amore," to their ambitious live recordings of all nine Beethoven symphonies, Tafelmusik brings a freshness and authenticity to the classical and baroque repertoire. Their project "Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House" is an example of their creative programming that blends music with cultural history, telling stories that resonate beyond the concert hall. With their rigorous pursuit of excellence and a passionate commitment to the music of the baroque period, Tafelmusik continues to enchant audiences around the globe with their spirited and historically informed performances.
