My wife, a friend and I went to see Tafelmusik last night at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, an old church building with amazing acoustics and penance building seats, as part of the Early Music Society of the Islands 2012-2013 season. The name is German for "dinner music" and they are a Canadian chamber orchestra specializing in Baroque and Chamber music. See a performance on CBC here. They performed their Galileo project, celebrating the 400th anniversary of the unveiling of his first telescope. I very much enjoy their performances (I've seen three) because they perform like someone breathes...effortlessly. It is always a joy to hear and see them play.
If they are coming to or nearby where you live, I highly recommend them.
