Thuesday, October 1st and Friday 2, 2009, 8 pm Guests conductors : Jeanne Lamon, violin (Canada) et Jaap ter Linden, cello (Holland) What better way to highlight the 250th anniversary of the great Handel’s death than to bring together Canada’s two most renowned baroque orchestras conducted by two outstanding guest conductors? For this concert event, Arion and Tafelmusik will join forces forming one large orchestra of over 50 musicians to play the dazzling score written for the Royal Fireworks. The programme also includes the instrumental suite from Rameau’s last opera, Les Paladins, a lyric comedy based on a fable by La Fontaine set somewhere between enchantment and entertainment. Arion on tour in Canada : Music Baroque pour toujours 17 octobre 2009: Shenkman National Art Center, Ottawa, Ontario C.P.E. Bach: Concertos & Symphonies Friday, November 20 and Saturday 21, 2009, 8 pm Guest conductor : Gary Cooper, harpsichord (United Kingdom) The second among Johann Sebastian Bach’s four musician sons, Telemann’s godson, and source of inspiration for Mozart and Haydn, Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach indeed made his mark on the instrumental music of his era. This remarkable composer himself said, “A musician cannot move anyone unless he himself is moved.” He was associated with Empfindsamkeit (sensitivity), a musical current in reaction to the rationalism of the time. The British conductor and harpsichordist Gary Cooper will lead you on a discovery of his work via symphonies and concertos.
Thuesday, February 11 and Saturday 13, 8 pm and Sunday, February 14, 2010, 2 pm Guest conductor : Elizabeth Wallfisch, violin (United Kingdom) Purcell dabbled in nearly all the musical genres, both vocal and instrumental, thanks to his complete musicianship, his overflowing inspiration and his great sense for innovation. This powerful musical dramatist was equally at ease with operas, masques and semi-operas (as English Restoration operas were known) but this Englishman also left us numerous musical scores for the theatre written to enhance the stagecraft of his contemporaries. Step into this multi-faceted universe led by the guest violinist and conductor Elizabeth Wallfisch, a musician of rare talent and contagious energy.
Thuesday, March 11 and Friday 12, 2010, 8 pm
“Whoever sings prays double” wrote Luther so it is not by chance that in Bach’s immense production cantatas take a place of the first rank. Whether religious, like Cantata No. 199, or secular, like No. 299, their expressivity and universality grabs us. Soprano Christine Brandes, under the direction of Alex Weimann, will demonstrate. You will also hear Mr. Weimann, on the harpsichord in the Triple Concerto for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord from the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.
Thuesday, April 29 and Friday 30, 2010, 8 pm Guest conductor and soloist : Stefano Montanari, violin (Italy) The Four Seasons has become beyond doubt Vivaldi’s most popular work. A master of the violin himself, the composer was instinctively drawn to passages best suited to a violinist’s fingers, the instrument’s most sonorous registers and a brilliant and incisive bow technique. Like a poet, he paints nature with vivacity and, beyond that, with accuracy. To fully experience this music Arion is bringing you the brilliant Italian violinist Stefano Montanari to be our guest conductor and soloist.
