The concert is part of St. Jude’s Celebration of the Arts (COTA) 24th season of concerts. “Tafelmusik last appeared in Oakville two seasons ago to a sold-out audience,” said COTA artistic director Doug Field. “This is going to be a hot ticket.” The Toronto-based Tafelmusik Baroque Or- chestra will be presenting Baroque Masters — a concert featuring star composers of the baroque era, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi and Georg Philipp Telemann. Tafelmusik, Canada’s award-winning or- chestra on period instruments, has become an internationally recognized ensemble lauded by Gramophone Magazine as “one of the world’s top baroque orchestras.” It was founded in 1979 by Kenneth Solway and Susan Graves and has been under the lead- ership of music director Jeanne Lamon since 1981 for 33 seasons — she stepped down as full-time music director in 2014. The Oakville concert will be directed by violinist Catherine Manson, a member of the Haydn Quartet of London, U.K. Manson will be the soloist in two works: Bach’s Violin Concerto in A Minor and Concerto for Violin and Oboe in C Minor , which will feature oboist John Abberger. Rounding out the program will be an Orches- tra Suite by Johann Joseph Fux, Concerto for Strings in C by Vivaldi, and Suite in B-flat from Tafelmusik by Telemann. “The music of the baroque has a unique com- bination of beauty, excitement and intimacy found in no other period, and it’s perfectly suite to the environment of St. Jude’s Church,” said Field. The concert begins at 8 p.m. at the 160 Wil- liam St. church. General admission tickets for each concert cost $30 and are available from the church of- fice, by calling 905-844-3972, and online at www.oakvilleconcerts.com.

Art students at Loyola Secondary School want to help chase away the winter blues with their art show on Thursday, Feb. 12. “The show is a window into the amazing creativity of the students and also shows some of the issues that concern them,” said Loyola art teacher Liz Tkalec. Artwork by students from Grades 9-12 will be on display at the 1550 Nottinghill Gate school from 6-8:30 p.m. Admission is free. The show includes more than 400 pieces in a variety of subjects and mediums.

There will be a reception on Thursday, Feb. 12 at the 301 Cornwall Rd. café where Carlson will demonstrate her modern approach to the ancient art of encaustic painting. It runs from 6-8 p.m. Her show, titled Rural Encounters , features ele- ments of the natural world in oils, acrylics and encaustic paintings. Email curator Dawn-Angela Seeley at artist@ dawnangela.com for more information. Oakville’s Maya Liberman is hoping her appear- ance on the popular U.S. show Good Morning America (GMA) will help give her entrepreneur- ial business a boost. Liberman appeared on a GMA segment called Shark Tank Your Life , which airs every Friday and where two entrepreneurs pitch their prod- ucts to a ”shark” from TV’s Shark Tank. Before the airing of the segment on Friday, Jan. 30, Liberman received a call from GMA producers asking if she wanted to appear on the show to showcase her product the Burger Master — a freezer container that shapes and stores eight, quarter-pound burgers — after coming across it on Liberman’s website, www. shapeandstore.com. “She told me this segment would be Super- Bowl-themed, so they were doing something different with the pitches,” said Liberman. “They wanted the two competing entrepreneurs to cre- ate their own football-themed commercials, and I needed to submit my first draft (in one) night. The commercials would then be judged by Rob- ert Herjavec, who is one of the investors from Shark Tank.” Liberman and her husband Greg immediately went to work, filming their commercial and were flown to New York City on Thursday, Jan. 29 for the show. Although Liberman’s product was not chosen over an Arizona chef’s Piggybacks — a tortilla chip with baked on bacon strips, Liberman says the experience was a memorable one. Liberman and her husband also appeared on CBC’s Dragons’ Den in October 2014 when they pitched their first product, The Smart Cookie. by John Bkila Oakville Beaver Staff Oakville entrepreneur appears on Good Morning America
