Winners Announced for Tafelmusik Vocal Competition This media release was amended on February 2, 2016 Winners Announced for Tafelmusik Vocal Competition Toronto, January 16, 2016 … The winners of the inaugural Tafelmusik Vocal Competition have just been announced: Kim Leeds, mezzo-soprano; Jacques-Olivier Chartier, tenor; and Jonathan Woody, baritone, were selected by the four-person jury following the final round of competition this afternoon at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre, Jeanne Lamon Hall. They will appear as soloists in Zelenka’s Missa omnium sanctorum, April 28 to May 1, 2016. The Audience Choice Award went to Kim Leeds. In today’s final round of competition, the contestants performed three works accompanied by Christopher Bagan on harpsichord and organ: an assigned solo from Zelenka’s Missa omnium sanctorum, an aria from a Bach cantata or passion, and a Handel opera or oratorio aria. The esteemed jury for the competition consisted of Jeanne Lamon, Mary Morrison, Catherine Robbin, and Ivars Taurins. In addition to being given the opportunity to appear in concert with Tafelmusik, each of the three prize-winners will receive $2,000, and will be mentored by German soprano Dorothee Mields in a series of masterclasses. Well-known to Tafelmusik audiences, Ms. Mields will be featured as the soprano soloist in the Zelenka Mass and in Bach’s Wedding Cantata. Kim Leeds is a recent graduate of the Boston Conservatory with her MMus in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance. She has appeared as a soloist in numerous concert performances, most recently in Mozart Requiem with the Philharmonic Society of Arlington, as Irene in Handel’s Theodora with Music at Marsh Chapel, in Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil and Zelenka’s Te Deum with Cantata Singers, and in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with Harvard Pro Musica. As a choral artist, she has toured Italy and Germany with the Junges Stuttgart Bach Ensemble under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann, performed with the Berwick Chorus at the Oregon Bach Festival, and toured Eastern Germany under the direction of Helmuth Rilling with the Weimar Bach Academy. Quebec tenor Jacques-Olivier Chartier is known for his beautiful voice and elegant style, acclaimed for the “poise and pathos” he brought to recent performances as the Evangelist in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. A recent graduate from Opéra de Montréal’s Young Artists Program, 27-year-old Jacques-Olivier has studied with Andreas Scholl at both the Musick Akademie der Stadt Basel and the Britten Pears School of Music. He is a frequent guest artist with Les Violons du Roy and Vancouver Early Music, and recently toured with Orchestre Metropolitain under Yannick Nézet Séguin as Evangelist in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. This season, Jacques-Olivier looks forward to Mozart Requiem in his hometown with Maestro Jacques Lacombe and the Orchestre Symphonique de Trois- Rivieres. Called “charismatic” and “riveting” by The New York Times, bass-baritone Jonathan Woody is a sought-after performer of early and new music across the United States. He is a member of the Grammy-nominated Choir of Trinity Wall Street, and has performed in recent seasons with New York Baroque Incorporated, Bach Collegium San Diego, Nashville Symphony, Pegasus Early Music, Spire Chamber Ensemble, Carmel Bach Festival, Oregon Bach Festival, Opera Lafayette, New Amsterdam Presents, and Beth Morrison Productions. Jonathan holds degrees from the University of Maryland, College Park, and McGill University, and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.

One of the casualties of this change was the recital recording, in which an artist or ensemble would present an interesting arrangement of musical pieces that followed a certain theme or style—much like a live concert. Although recital recordings were of course made, and are perhaps making a comeback, most recordings featured a single composer and were sold in alphabetized bins: B for Bach; V for Vivaldi.

  • Maximilian Schmitt Entdeckte Seine Liebe Zur Musik Bereits in Jungen Jahren Bei Den Regensburger Domspatzen
    Maximilian Schmitt entdeckte seine Liebe zur Musik bereits in jungen Jahren bei den Regensburger Domspatzen. Er studierte Gesang bei Roland Hermann und Prof. Anke Eggers in Berlin. 2005 und 2006 war er Mitglied im Jungen Ensemble der Bayerischen Staatsoper München. Während seiner Münchner Zeit debütierte Maximilian Schmitt am Salzburger Landestheater als Tamino in der Zauberflöte, bevor er sich für vier Jahre beim Ensemble des Mannheimer Nationaltheaters verpflichtete. Dort sang er David/Meistersinger, Lenski/Eugen Onegin und den lyrischen Mozart-Partien wie Tamino, Don Ottavio, Belmonte oder Ferrando. Im Sommer 2012 beschloss Maximilian Schmitt seine erfolgreiche Mannheimer Zeit mit der Titelpartie in Mozarts La Clemenza di Tito. In konzertanten Opernabenden war Maximilian Schmitt mit dem Scottish Chamber Orchestra unter Robin Ticciati (Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni, Ferrando/Così fan tutte) und mit dem WDR Sinfonieorchester mit deutschen romantischen Arien zu erleben. Ende 2012 debütierte er an der Oper Amsterdam als Tamino in der gefeierten Neuproduktion von Simon McBurney unter Marc Albrecht. In René Jacobs‘ Produktion von Mozarts Entführung aus dem Serail mit der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin übernahm er die Partie des Belmonte. Konzertante Vorstellungen führten nach Perugia, in den Amsterdamer Concertgebouw sowie in den BOZAR nach Brüssel. Die CD liegt inzwischen bei harmonia mundi France vor. Neben seiner Leidenschaft für die Oper hat der Konzertgesang großes Gewicht. Sein weit gefächertes Repertoire reicht von Monteverdi über Mozart bis Mendelssohn, eingeladen von Dirigenten wie Franz Welser-Möst, Andrew Manze, Daniel Harding, Thomas Hengelbrock, Fabio Luisi, Andres Orozco Estrada, Marcus Creed, Trevor Pinnock, René Jacobs, Robin Ticciati und Orchestern wie der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, dem Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, den Symphonieorchestern des Bayerischen und des Mitteldeutschen Rundfunks, dem WDR Sinfonieorchester, den Wiener Symphonikern, dem Cleveland Orchestra, dem Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra und dem Gewandhausorchester Leipzig.

  • Jan Börner, Countertenor Jan Börner Began His Musical Education Already at the Age of Nine When He Joined the Boys' Choir in His Home Town Solothurn
    Jan Börner, Countertenor Jan Börner began his musical education already at the age of nine when he joined the Boys' Choir in his home town Solothurn. When he was eleven, he performed for the first time as boy soprano. Jan Börner was a private student of Richard Levitt before completing his musical degree under Professor Ulrich Messthaler at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and graduating with the diploma in Early Music. He was also taught by Andreas Scholl and Margreet Honig. As a soloist, Jan Börner focuses on music from the Renaissance and the Baroque period. He has performed with various vocal ensembles such as the Balthasar Neumann Chor, Vox Luminis and Le Concert Étranger. At the J.S. Bach foundation (Rudolf Lutz) he is a regular soloist. He also performs regularly at the Abendmusiken in the Predigerkirche Basel (Jörg-Andreas Bötticher) with music from the 17th century. He has been working closely with the ensemble Il Profondo for a few years. Together with this ensemble, several concerts have been realized, and a first record with early German cantatas and spiritual concerts of the 17th century was released in May 2015 at the label resonando under the name «absorta est...». It has received positive critics throughout the media and has been nominated for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Another CD called «Freundliches Glück, süsseste Liebe» – with Nuria Rial and Il Profondo – will be released in 2020. Up to now, his more extraordinary performances include the recording of Bach's St John Passion with the Ricercar Consort (Philippe Pierlot) and solo performances at the Festival d'Ambronay in 2015 and 2016 (Bach's St Matthew Passion, among others) with Le Concert Étranger (Itay Jedlin, Paris).
