Critically acclaimed violinist and conductor Jeanne Lamon specialized in music of the Baroque and Classical periods on period instruments and was the long-time director of Toronto's Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, leading the group to international renown. Lamon's engaging, vibrant personality came through on the stage, and she inspired audiences and colleagues throughout her career. She initiated an artist training program with Tafelmusik, offering two workshops a year. In 1974, Lamon became the first violinist to win the Erwin Bodky Award. She was named Tafelmusik's music director in 1981, remaining until 2014 when she became the music director emerita. From 2014 to 2019, she served as the artistic director of the Health Arts Society of Ontario. Together, Lamon and Tafelmusik won nine JUNO Awards, one of which, 2003's Dardanus and Le temple de la Gloire, also earned a Grammy nomination. Other highlights include recordings of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
