I don’t usually go to Baroque music but I enjoyed the program. The musicians and the singers were very engaging! The info on the history of the indigo due was educational and interesting!
Wonderful integration of European and South Indian Classical music. An interesting and informative thread throughout was the theme of the Indigo trade. The only weakness for me was the short interpretive dance number at the end. But really one of the best concert productions I've seen in a long time
The performance surpassed all of my expectations. The orchestra, choir, and all soloists made the evening one not soon forgotten. Anyone who has a love of music would be moved by hearing them. I will certainly look forward to future events.
It wss an amazing concept that was so well performed and both acoustically and visually captivating with an important message.
Thematically and artistically, this was possibly the most satisfying musical performance I have ever witnessed. It wove a tale both ancient and contemporary that was moving in its relevance to today, and wrapped it in a musical package that melded the best of European and African instrumentation and style. The choreography was imaginative and the script thoughtful. Sincere congratulations to all concerned with the concept and delivery of this impeccable performance.
Amazing performance - fabulous music with challenging history ....
For the price I pay, I expect to enjoy the benefit of concert hall : sound quality. It was very nice for when they played. Between the short songs they were giving lectures about Bach. Lectures which could have easily been on youtube as 20 or even 50 minutes clips. I was not interested in learning how he made school children learn do-re-mi and how violin string are made. I payed to go listen to his works in a concert hall.
Turns a magnificent piece into a snore. What a shame.
The acoustics at GWRH serve so well the music presented by Tafelmusik's professionnal and dedicated artists . The program was well-balanced, the playing superb and the choice of soloists was guarantee of a wonderful musical experience.
