On the heels of a successful tour of Western Canada that included 8 out of 9 sold out concerts, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra sets out today, February 18, on a week-long Ontario tour. In addition to evening concerts in Kingston and Ottawa and Family Day concerts at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec, Tafelmusik will enliven Ontario communities including Sharbot Lake, Port Perry, St. Mary’s, Windsor, Embro and Milton with a series of community outreach and free education concerts for elementary school students, as well as a masterclass for community musicians – the remarkable “TGIF” Kingston Community Strings, one of the five performing groups of the Kingston Symphony Association.
The orchestra is traveling with a mixed programme of baroque repertoire including music by Lully, JS Bach, CPE Bach, Fasch, and Dauvergne. John Abberger and Marco Cera will be the featured soloists in the Concerto for 2 oboes in D Minor by Vivaldi, and Abberger will join Music Director and violin soloist Jeanne Lamon for the Bach Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C Minor.
