A Bach Celebration – Tafelmusik – Toronto

15 mars 2026 @ 15h00 - 17h00

Over the course of 40 years, J.S. Bach wrote more than 200 astonishing cantatas, of which only a handful are regularly performed today

Ivars Taurins has combed through all 200 to hand-pick a few hidden gems—choruses, arias, and recitatives—that we don’t hear as often in concert.

Our Bach Celebration magnifies the composer’s mastery and genius, creating a gallery of aural contrasts that range from a jubilant chorus with trumpets and timpani from Cantata 11 (the “Ascension Oratorio”), to the hauntingly beautiful aria “Die seele ruht” from Cantata 127.

Joining the orchestra and choir are two vocal soloists known for their exquisite Bach interpretations. Soprano Myriam Leblanc, with her voice “like a brandy distillate, absolutely transparent” (Le Devoir), appeared most recently with Tafelmusik in our 2024 Handel Messiah and is featured in Choral Splendours in March 2025.

The Grammy Award-winning tenor James Reese made an impressive Tafelmusik debut in Messiah in 2023. Reese was noted for his “fresh, youthful tone … Whether in declamatory recitatives or the aria proper, he sang with great feeling and attention to detail” (Ludwig van Toronto).
