In the 18th century, the “Grand Tour” of Europe was designed to enlighten England’s young elite, introducing them to the masterful music, exceptional art, and decadent delights of the Continent. Symphony Nova Scotia takes us on our own musical Grand Tour, conceived and led by Jeanne Lamon, musical director and lead violinist of Tafelmusik, Canada’s beloved baroque ensemble. Starting in England, this wonderful program will take us on a vicarious journey through France, Italy, and Germany, with gems from Handel, Marais, Corelli, Vivaldi, and Bach.
