At its recent Annual General Meeting, Tafelmusik announced its 10th consecutive operating surplus. And what a decade it has been: during this era (a time that corresponds with the administrative leadership of Tricia Baldwin), Tafelmusik has nearly doubled annual revenues from $2.6 million to $5.1 million, increased artistic activity and creative programming; remained debt-free; tabled ten consecutive balanced budgets; eliminated the accumulated deficit; created surplus funds for future artistic projects and as a cushion to ensure stability into the future; and built its Endowment to $1.6MM to provide income in perpetuity. Board Chair David Linds thanked Music Director Jeanne Lamon and all the musicians, Managing Director Tricia Baldwin and the staff team, and the Tafelmusik Board of Directors for an outstanding season that represented a string of successes at home and on the world stage.

“Tafelmusik’s vision is to be an international centre of musical excellence in period performance for generations to come,” said Tricia Baldwin, Managing Director. “The 2009/10 season underscored this vision with an impressive array of home, international touring and filming activities. Tafelmusik proudly represented Canada on international tours to Italy, Germany, Mexico, the USA, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, as well as continuing its national touring, this time in Quebec.”
