On December 6 at 9 pm ET on Bravo!, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir will be featured in the premiere television broadcast of its popular annual Sing-Along Messiah, produced by 90th Parallel Productions. This historic television event was recorded live last January at the critically acclaimed Koerner Hall, and is produced by Gordon Henderson and Stuart Coxe and directed by Dave Russell. The broadcast complements Tafelmusik’s four live performances of Handel’s Messiah from December 15th to 18th in the intimate and enchanting setting of Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre, and a performance of Sing-Along Messiah on Sunday December 19th at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall. Resplendent in his powdered wig and 18th-century garb, Maestro Handel (aka Chamber Choir Director Ivars Taurins) makes his television debut leading Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir, a stellar cast of soloists — sopranoSuzie LeBlanc, countertenor Daniel Taylor, tenor Rufus Müller, and baritone Locky Chung — and a mass audience choir made up of more than 1000 Tafelmusik fans as they perform highlights of Handel's baroque masterpiece.
