Led by Music Director Jeanne Lamon and founded in 1979, Tafelmusik is considered “one of the top baroque orchestras in the world” (Gramophone). The orchestra performs over 50 concerts a year at home in Toronto, tours extensively around the world, has released 80 CDs and has received nine JUNO Awards. Tafelmusik is one of Canada’s foremost cultural ambassadors, and in 2011/2012 performed in festivals and concert halls in Germany, USA, Australia, New Zealand, France and in Canada. It was a Sony Classical producer who was the matchmaker of Tafelmusik with conductor Bruno Weil. Weil appointed Tafelmusik as the orchestra in residency at Germany’s Klang und Raum Festival for 19 years, both have toured the world together, and have created a number of recordings together. In 2012, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra celebrated a successful international launch of its own multi-platform recording label, Tafelmusik Media. As well, Tafelmusik Media is creating access for young people through the digital concert hall, Tafelmusik’s Watch and Listen site, and a large presence on YouTube. Tafelmusik Media is sowing seeds for the orchestra’s future growth in recording, broadcasting and touring, as well as building audiences around the world.
