www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, February 6, 2015 | 24 Tafelmusik comes to St. Jude's Church St. Jude's Church is going baroque when Tafelmusik comes to Oakville Saturday (Feb. 7). 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 Orchestra 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 orchestra 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 leadership 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 Oakville entrepreneur appears on Good Morning America by John Bkila Oakville Beaver Staff From left, Arizona chef Eric Osburn, Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec, and Oakville entrepreneurs Maya Liberman and her husband Greg.

Rounding out the program will be an Orchestra Suite by Johann Joseph Fux, Concerto for Strings in C by Vivaldi, and Suite in B- at from Tafelmusik by Telemann. "The music of the baroque has a unique combination 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 William St. church. General admission tickets for each concert cost $30 and are available from the church ofce, by calling 905-844-3972, and online at www.oakvilleconcerts.com.

Oakville's Maya Liberman is hoping her appearance on the popular U.S. show Good Morning America (GMA) will help give her entrepreneurial business a boost. Liberman appeared on a GMA segment called Shark Tank Your Life, which airs every Friday and where two entrepreneurs pitch their products 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 SuperBowl-themed, so they were doing something different with the pitches," said Liberman. "They wanted the two competing entrepreneurs to create their own football-themed commercials, and I needed to submit my rst draft (in one) night. The commercials would then be judged by Robert Herjavec, who is one of the investors from Shark Tank." Liberman and her husband Greg immediately went to work, lming their commercial and were own 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 rst product, The Smart Cookie.
