Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Tyler Duncan

Visiting conductor Matthew Halls in a programme of Haydn, MacMillan and Beethoven.

A deeply stirring interpretation of Bach's St John Passion from Pacific Musicworks in Seattle. 

Christmastime comes with its musical traditions, from sing-along Messiahs to Christmas carols to Mariah Carey singing “All I Want for Christmas is You”. And there’s no denying that shouting any of the above at the top of your lungs will immediately get you into the Christmas spirit.

Pour leur cinquantième concert à la Salle Bourgie, les Violons du Roy et le chef Bernard Labadie offraient au public quatre cantates de Bach (BWV 52, 82, 84 et 58), en compagnie des solistes Lydia Teuscher (soprano) et Tyler Duncan (baryton). Le tout formait un joli bouquet dans le froid et la grisaille de dimanche à Montréal !
