The live concert takes place on Saturday, April 2 at 2 pm at Jeanne Lamon Hall.
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir will present a special live tribute concert honouring Music Director Emerita Jeanne Lamon, C.M. O.Ont., who passed away in June. This deeply personal musical homage is curated by her partner and former Tafelmusik principal cellist Christina Mahler, together with friend and colleague Alison Mackay. The live concert takes place on Saturday, April 2 at 2 pm at Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity-St. Paul's Centre in Toronto, and tickets will go on sale in mid January 2022. Tafelmusik Digital Season Passholders will receive a presale window two days in advance of the public on-sale date. A digital version will be announced at a later date.
Narrated by one of Canada's foremost stage actors, R.H. Thomson, and enriched with projected images, this multimedia tribute program traces the trajectory of Jeanne's inspiring life, including her youth in New York State, her student years in Boston and Amsterdam, her decades in Toronto, and her final chapter in Victoria. Jeanne's outstanding leadership, passionate dedication to artist training, and commitment to the values of collaboration, inclusion, and artistic excellence-qualities that have touched the lives of so many-are the guiding principles that have inspired this celebration of her life. At the heart of Tafelmusik's tribute is the music that resonated with Jeanne most profoundly. From Bach, whose compositions were part of the daily ritual that infused her childhood, to a movement from Telemann's Tafelmusik, the first piece she ever directed with the orchestra, the music most beloved by Jeanne will serve to honour her memory and celebrate her towering influence. Full program details will be announced in early 2022.
Tickets will go on sale in mid January 2022 at tafelmusik.org
