Tafelmusik | Brilliant Baroque

Rachel Podger and Tafelmusik bring the concert that sold-out across South Korea home to Toronto.

Three continents meet when Tafelmusik and Rachel Podger ignite the quintessential spirit of the baroque in this program of music by Bach, Handel, Purcell and others.

The journey begins with an array of baroque treasures from Rachel’s native England: works by Handel, Purcell and Charles Avison. New to the Tafelmusik stage is an orchestral suite by the Bohemian composer Antonín Reichenauer, an enchanting dialogue between strings and winds.

No baroque blowout would be complete without the music of J.S. Bach, and who better to bring out the “infectiously spritely bounce and exhilarating dramatic tension” (BBC) of his Violin Concerto in A Minor than Rachel Podger?

Program
Handel Concerto grosso in G Major
Avison Concerto no. 6 in D Major, after Scarlatti
Purcell Suite from Fairy Queen & King Arthur
Bach Sinfonia from Cantata 42
Bach Concerto for violin in A minor, BWV 1041
Reichenauer Suite in B-flat Major
