Thanks to Cecilia Lee and Ludwig van Toronto for featuring us in their Critic's Picks this week! "It’s lovely to see this little sanctuary, St. Thomas, becoming an intimate performance powerhouse. If you blink, you might miss it, but the church team has been hard at work hosting many different events, and for this Sunday, Baroque violinist Cristina Prats-Costa and friends are having an album launch concert. The roster, featuring Lucas Harris (lute), Joseph Phillips (bass), and Naghmeh Farahmand (Persian percussion), promises much variety and the joy of encountering fresh music from the masters of the Mediterranean Baroque: Andrea Falconieri, Heinrich Biber, Nicola Matteis, Santiago de Murcia, Gaspar Sanz, Johann Schop, Jose de Lebra, Jean-Fery Rebel, and Vivaldi. The Mediterranean — full of sunshine and undeniable joy for life — with its contrasting deep pathos and exotic Moorish influences, was a fantastic place, and this concert is a great way to hear that unique regional richness live."
