I had a somber email from Tafelmusik this afternoon. While I was expecting it to be another fund-raising message, it turned out that their former director, Jeanne Lamon, had just passed away from cancer at the age of 71. Obit here.
While she had stepped down in 2014, she had stayed quite involved with Tafelmusik until 2019 when she moved to Victoria. I'm not entirely sure how many times I've seen her perform (typically she would perform and direct the ensemble), but probably on the order of 10 or so times. A significant loss, particularly during a time when Tafelmusik will have to wait a few more months to organize a memorial concert. However, her legacy will live on for a very long time.
