Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra
The Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra (also known simply as Tafelmusik) is a Canadian orchestra specializing in historically-informed performance and based in Toronto. The orchestra plays period instruments appropriate to the era of music, including baroque, classical, and romantic eras. The orchestra was founded in 1979 by oboist Kenneth Solway and bassoonist Susan Graves. Violinist Jeanne Lamon led the organization artistically from 1981 to 2014, and Elisa Citterio from 2017 to 2021. Artistic co-directors Cristina Zacharias, Dominic Teresi, and Brandon Chui began artistic leadership in 2022, leading the organization through a pandemic recovery and renewal. Violinist Rachel Podger joined the artistic team in the fall of 2024 as Principal Guest Director. The orchestra has sixteen full-time members who specialize in historical performance and technique, with additional musicians joining the ensemble when required. The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, under the direction of Ivars Taurins, was formed in 1981 to complement the orchestra.
