Welcome to the Toronto Friends of Classical Music Meet-up group!
Our purpose is to bring together classical music fans throughout Toronto. We arrange events, host discussions in reference to the music that we love, and promote local talent!
This site is also the home base for ALLEGRIA !
This is the baroque chamber ensemble I founded.
We give frequent open rehearsals and recitals, and will invite you all to attend!
So come on out and show your support.
You'll find you'll make alot of new friends along the journey!

Friends,
My favorite Early English composer is Henry Purcell. He is heralded as the person who gave birth to English music. Amongst his accomplishments were a number of theatre pieces and semi-operas.
One of the most brilliant and much loved is his KING ARTHUR which is written in 5 acts, with libretto by John Dryden.
I own a very cherished recording of it, as performed by Trevor Pinnock and The English Concert. Read more
