Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir


Tafelmusik offers two online concerts this month. Many baroque composers experimented with re-pitching some of the strings to draw different sounds and possibilities from the violin, a technique called scordatura. On November 12 at 8pm EST, Close Encounters: Re-tuned, part of their chamber series, explores one of the most popular of these re-tunings (AEAE), which offers a very open, resonant sound - evoking trumpets and vielles (medieval string instruments). Tafelmusik also says a quick hello to their fiddler cousins, who still turn to this tuning for some of their traditional tunes. On November 26 at 8pm EST, Passions of the Soul is a microcosm of their season theme, "Passions of the Soul." In their quest to awe and inspire, 18th-century composers strove to describe the desires of the soul and touch the hearts of listeners with poignant and captivating music. (This event was originally scheduled for October 22.) Join Tafelmusik from the comfort of your home, and visit their website for more details.

The Music Gallery


In an aim to spur the kind of creative interactions improvisers & video artists often manifest in the live realm in a safe and engaging way, The Music Gallery and The Departures Series has embarked on a new adaptation of an age old game, Exquisite Corpse. Pioneered and popularised by French surrealists in the 20's & 30's, the game typically involves either illustration or text. One artist starts an image and passes it along to a second, who only seeing a small portion of the previous collaborator's contribution continues the illustration, then passes it on to a third artist, so on and so forth. For Exquisite Departures they've invited 15 Toronto based improvisers and 6 video artists to play an audio/visual version of this game over 15 recorded tracks. Exquisite Departures takes place on November 20, 2020 at 7pm EST. For full lineup and stream link, please visit them via their site.
