2014 | Classical Album of the Year: Vocal or Choral Performance | Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Alexander Weimann, Owen Willets, Karina Gauvin, Allyson McHardy, Amanda Forsythe, Nathan Berg | | The JUNO Awards

In 1990, an extraordinary group of musicians specializing in baroque and early classical music formed the Pacific Baroque Orchestra on Canada's West Coast. Under the leadership of internationally renowned violinist Marc Destrubé, the orchestra quickly established itself as a force in Vancouver, B.C.'s burgeoning music scene. Karina Gauvin's unique voice, remarkable technique, and accomplished musicianship have charmed audiences worldwide from the Royal Opera House in London to the prestigious 92nd Street Y and the Lincoln Center in New York. Her vast repertoire covers music from Johann Sebastian Bach to Benjamin Britten and Luciano Berio. In recent years Alexander Weimann has established a reputation as one of the leading harpsichordists and ensemble leaders of his generation.
