Elly Winer, a member of Tafelmusik since 1985, is proudly playing in his 23rd season with the orchestra. With Tafelmusik he has performed solos and chamber music on both the viola and the viola d’amore. He has played, toured, and recorded with many other early music ensembles, including the Theatre of Early Music, the Carmel Bach Festival Orchestra, the American Bach and Classical Soloists, Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montreal, and Apollo’s Fire.
