About this Event
“Dear Jeanne” is a deeply personal program centred on violinist Yolanda Bruno’s album tribute to her late teacher and mentor, the Canadian-American baroque violinist Jeanne Lamon, who served as Music Director of Tafelmusik for 33 years and as Principal Baroque Leader of Symphony Nova Scotia. Joined by baroque violinist Julia Wedman and cellist Christina Mahler, both longtime artists with Tafelmusik, this extraordinary trio explores music by Jean-Marie Leclair, J.S. Bach, Beth Silver, and Antonio Vivaldi, with the heart of the program being Lamon’s own string trio arrangement of Bach’s Ciaccona. The performance will be followed by a screening of the companion documentary, offering audiences a deeper look into the project, the recording, and the musical legacy behind it.
