Baritone ANDREW MAHON has appeared with many organisations in Canada and around the world,
performing both concert and operatic repertoire. His solo engagements have included performances of
oratorios, cantatas and masses with Tafelmusik, the Toronto Consort, the Tallis Choir, the Toronto Chamber
Choir, the Toronto Continuo Collective, Aradia Ensemble, the MacMaster University Choir, and the Bachakademie
Stuttgart with Helmuth Rilling. On the operatic stage, he has appeared with the Toronto Masque Theatre,
singing Envy and Ismeron in Purcell's The Indian Queen and the title roles in Blow's Venus and Adonis and
Purcell's Dido and Aeneas; London Early Opera (Adonis); the International Vocal Arts Institute in Tel Aviv
(Putnam in The Crucible); and Opera Atelier (Aronte in Lully's Armide). He can be heard on Tafelmusik's
recently released CD Gloria in Excelsis Deo on CBC Records, and is frequently featured on CBC radio.
Mr. Mahon began singing at the age of six as a chorister at Grace Church on-the-Hill in Toronto, and has since
sung with many of Canada's leading choirs, currently a member of The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, the Tallis Choir,
the Theatre of Early Music and the Choir of St. James Cathedral.
JAMES TUTTLE, tenor, began his singing career as a boy chorister under the helm of Dr. Derek Holman at the church of St. Simon-the-Apostle, Toronto, while also studying with Anthony St. Pierre. In his adolescent years, he began his Tenor career at All Saints' Kingsway in Etobicoke with Clement Carelse, giving him solo opportunities in Bach's St. John Passion, Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem. He later joined the Men and Boys of Toronto's Cathedral church of St. James, under the direction of Chris Dawes and Matthew Larkin. James is now currently singing in the CBC award-winning choirs of St. Thomas's Anglican church and the Exu!tate Chamber Singers, both under the direction of Dr. John Tuttle. He is a founding member of a Male quintet called Les Cinq. Since 2004, Jamie has been coaching with Lenard Whiting, and has had roles in George Bizet's Carmen, and in Leonard Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti. Recently, the Globe and Mail stated that James "gave such a delightful, unaffected performance" in the Toronto Masque Theatre's production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
Countertenor RICHARD WHITTALL has been singing professionally since the age of eleven, first under Dr. Derek Holman as a treble. While studying at McGill University for his Bachelor degree in philosophy he joined La Chapelle de Québec under Bernard Labadie, and Le Studio Musique Ancienne de Montreal under Christopher Jackson. Under the ad hoc tutelage of countertenor Matthew White, his "forceful falsetto tone" (Montreal Gazette) landed him gigs as a soloist for the Renaissance Singers in Kitchener, Susie Napper's Les Voix Humaines alongside Nathaniel Watson and Suzie LeBlanc in Montreal, the Lameque Baroque Music Festival in New Brunswick, and in numerous other festivals. He now resides in Toronto working at the University of Toronto in student services, and has been singing with Tafelmusik since December 2005 with other "baroquen" people.
