Malcolm Tattersall and Margaret Caley         

The Telemann Ensemble, based in Townsville, North Queensland, specialises in performing music of the baroque (with occasional excursions into earlier and slightly later music) with awareness of, and respect for, the instruments and performance traditions of the period. The ensemble was formed early in 1999 and has presented concerts and led workshops in Townsville, Atherton, Innisfail, Cairns and Brisbane.

The Telemann Ensemble celebrated its tenth year in style but the full group was unable to perform in the first half of 2010 because of an injury which took longer to heal than expected. Three of us enjoyed an opportunity to play some rather different music in 'A Breath of Australian Air' with Rodney Waterman in May and we are all looking forward to playing as a quintet again quite soon.
