    As you may know, Tafelmusik musicians and staff often blog when we’re on tour – in fact, I was tasked with this very recently when we travelled to Versailles.

    Tafelmusik in Versailles: Dress Rehearsal

    William Norris, Managing Director

    It’s hard to know how to start this, my first ever blog entry for Tafelmusik, and the first blog from our Trip to Versailles with Opera Atelier. When Tim in our marketing team asked me to write something about the trip and our performances of Lully’s Armide, little did any of us know that such horrific events would unfurl on the streets of Paris just days ahead of our arrival.

    Adieu to Australia and New Zealand! Australia/NZ Tour, 2015

    Christopher Verrette, violin

    When travelling by bus, we tend to gravitate, consciously or not, toward the same seats. Thus, over the years, the very back seats of the bus have come to be known as "Chris' office". I am happy to report that the reception area of my office now features live jazz!

    Returning to the Land Down Under - Australia/New Zealand Tour, February 2015

    Patrick G. Jordan, viola

    The hall has an official capacity of 1,729 and I don’t think we were far off that number. The audience gave us an extremely warm and enthusiastic welcome, which is a very nice way to start a tour!
