Montreal-based harpsicord master Olivier Fortin — someone Torontonians usually hear in the company of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra — is in some very fine company with flautist Alison Melville, baroque violinist Kathleen Kajioka and gamba player Justin Haynes in a concert tonight of chamber music by French Baroque greats Jean-Philippe Rameau, François Couperin, Marin Marais, Joseph de Boismortier — plus a Paris Quartet, by Georg Philipp Telemann.
