- **Event Description**: Brilliant Baroque

After a hiatus of far too long, we are welcoming back the ever-popular Tafelmusik to Victoria.

In 1730s Leipzig, J.S. Bach gathered with friends at Zimmerman’s coffeehouse for weekly concerts of brilliant music, carrying on a tradition of weekly meetings by the Collegium Musicum originally founded by his friend, Georg Philip Telemann. Today, great musical friends Tafelmusik and Principal Guest Director Rachel Podger explore the rich and varied repertoire of the 18th century coffeehouse culture, featuring invigorating music by Bach, Telemann, Handel, and Vivaldi.

For over four decades, Tafelmusik has been synonymous worldwide with dynamic, engaging, and soulful performances informed by scholarship, passion and artistic excellence. The Toronto ensemble has performed in more than 350 cities in 32 countries. Its extensive discography on the Sony, CBC Records, Analekta and Tafelmedia labels have garnered ten JUNOs and numerous international recording prizes.

“The kind of committed, passionate musicmaking that guarantees a concert that people remember for a long time, regardless of genre.”– Toronto Star

Rachel Podger has established herself as a leading interpreter of baroque and classical music. Fresh from being announced as the winner of two 2023 BBC Music Magazine Awards for Instrumental Recording and Recording of the Year, as 23/24 Artist in Focus for Kings Place, and with two new albums released this month, Rachel was the first woman to be awarded the prestigious Royal Academy of Music/Kohn Foundation Bach Prize in October 2015, Gramophone Artist of the Year 2018, and the Ambassador for REMA’s Early Music Day 2020. A creative programmer, she is the founder and Artistic Director of Brecon Baroque Festival and her ensemble Brecon Baroque.
