Welcome to Tafel, our magazine for the musically curious. Offered three times a year, this publication will, we hope, welcome new friends as well as extend the rich conversations we are already having with so many of you.
These offstage conversations have grown even more important as we contemplate the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently deprived of performing live public concerts, we are doubly committed to sharing moments of beauty and joy with you online and through this magazine.
In this, our second issue of Tafel, we learn about the tradition of Mary gardens, hear a conversation between bassists Chi-chi Nwanoku and Pippa Macmillan, and explore the legacy of Bach's Goldberg Variations—including Tafelmusik Music Director Elisa Citterio's own arrangement.
