MaRS comes alive with the sound of music
Toronto International Bach Festival
With what felt like the early arrival of winter this past week, the commencement of the 2006 International Bach Festival in Toronto will surely warm the hearts of many in this city. The festival got off to a phenomenal start here at MaRS on Sunday afternoon with a performance of J.S. Bach’s Canata, Wachet! Betet! Betet! Wachet!, BWV 70.
Stellar performances by
- Laura Albino, soprano
- Mia Lennox-Williams, alto
- Stephen Erickson, tenor
- Benjamin Covey, baritone
With the accompanying Bach Festival Singers and Orchestra, and Helmuth Rilling conducting.
This beautiful piece was a delight to hear and it gives every indication that this year’s festival should not be missed. For more information, please visit their website here.
MaRS is proud to support this culturally significant event. It highlights our desire to bridge the established communities of Science & Technology and Arts & Culture, and further convergence and collaboration between them for mutual benefit. We have much to gain from working with and developing relationships between these traditionally isolated groups. Innovation does not stop at the edge of technology, and creativity does not only live in the Arts. We at MaRS certainly look forward to weaving more interactions with the artistic and cultural communities to stimulate innovation and creativity across our entire community.
