Tafelmusik: The word is German and means “table music” or “music for the feast.”

​

Tafelmusik, Canada’s award-winning period instrument orchestra, was founded in 1979 and has long been renowned in North America and internationally for its distinct, exhilarating and soulful performances.  Under the outstanding leadership of Chief Artistic Advisor Jeanne Lamon, C.M., it has excelled equally in music ranging from the baroque and classical eras and beyond, including adventurous cross-cultural reinventions of baroque classics.  In the words of Gramophone, Tafelmusik is “one of the world’s top baroque orchestras.”

​

Based in Toronto, the renowned Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra has seventeen permanent members, all of whom are specialists in historical performance practice.
