Tafelmusik back from tour

8 February 2010

Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra has taken The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres on a four-city tour of California and Missouri, January 30 to February 6.  Stops on the tour include Kansas City, Santa Barbara, San Diego and Los Angeles.  The 2010 U.S. tour follows prestigious debuts at New York’s Carnegie Hall in February 2009, the inaugural Reate Festival in Italy last summer, and an October appearance at the Cervantino International Festival in Mexico.

The project has been nominated as Canada’s entry in the International Year of Astronomy’s 2009 Prize for Excellence in Astronomy Education and Public Outreach. The winners will be recognized in March 2010 at a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa. In November 2009 The Galileo Project was the subject of a feature article in Hubble Space Telescope’s CAP Journal (Communicating Astronomy to the Public), and was the December 2009 cover story for International Arts Manager, a UK publication. In April 2009, the International Astronomical Union named an asteroid after Tafelmusik. Looking ahead to October 2010, The Galileo Project travels to Asia and Tafelmusik will make its debut in Kuala Lumpur. A Mandarin-language version of the project is being prepared for the Chinese stops on Tafelmusik’s tour itinerary.
