Presented by Early Music Vancouver

After the dramatic success of the PBO’s production of Messiah in 2017, EMV has invited guest director Ivars Taurins, conductor of the Juno award-winning Tafelmusik Chamber Choir to lead an international team of soloists, the PBO, and the Vancouver Cantata Singers in a thrilling period instrument performance of this seasonal favourite.

Joanne Lunn, soprano; Krisztina Szabó, mezzo soprano; Thomas Hobbs, tenor; Peter Harvey, baritone; Ivars Taurins, guest music director; Pacific Baroque Orchestra; Paula Kremer, artistic director of VCS; Vancouver Cantata Singers

Pre-concert talk at 7:15pm.

“Taurins’s reading is not merely lean and immaculate, which by now is no surprise to his many admirers, but is also sumptuous, vigorously articulate and profoundly thoughtful.”
