It was like no other performance I have ever been to!
It was in a Cafe setting with an eclectic mix of chairs and a few tables. It was a lot more relaxed and light-hearted. I am used to seeing Baroque music performed in a very serious way. This time it was all about fun.
I loved it!
We started off with the Prelude from Partita for solo violin No. 6 in E-Major, BWV 1006.
Then we had the Coffee Cantata BWV 211, Schweight stille, plaudert nicht - Kaffeekantate.
And after the coffee break, the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major, BWV 1050.
They were amazing!
I especially loved the harpsichord!
I never get to hear harpsichord solos and it was just wonderful!
Our performers were:
- Domenico Sanfilippo - Bass Baritone
- Vania Chan - Soprano
- Bud Roach - Tenor
- Andres Tucci-Clarke - Cello
- Joanna Marsden - Flute
- Rezan Onen-Lapointe - Violin
- David Podgorski - Harpsichord
- Jimin Shin - Viola
- Kailey Richards - Violin
It was so good to see Andres again.
He helps out with the TDSB Downtown Summer Strings.
And here is a picture of me with Rezan and David.
Thank you so much Rezan for inviting me!
So glad you and your mom could come see the concert, and that you enjoyed it! Best of luck in all your adventures :)
