Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra History
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, founded in 1979 in Toronto, Canada, is renowned for its commitment to historically informed performances of baroque music. The ensemble was established by a group of musicians, including the visionary violinist Jeanne Lamon, who served as its music director for over three decades. Tafelmusik, which translates to 'table music' in German, originally referred to the kind of music played at banquets and gatherings, and the orchestra remains true to this spirit by creating lively and engaging performances. Over the years, Tafelmusik has developed a reputation for its innovative programming and its dedication to authenticity, using period instruments and techniques that reflect the practices of the 17th and 18th centuries. This commitment to the historical context of the music has garnered them critical acclaim and a loyal audience, both in Canada and internationally. The orchestra has performed at prestigious venues around the world, including concerts at the Boston Early Music Festival, the Utrecht Early Music Festival, and many more, solidifying its position as one of the leading baroque ensembles globally.
