Les Violons du Roy
- Public Event
| Presented By: | Coleman Chamber Music Association |
Founded in 1984 by music director Bernard Labadie and strongly influenced by current research into performance practice in the 17th and 18th centuries, Les Violons du Roy is a pillar of the musical scene in Québec City. International tours have prompted critical response that "The orchestra's playing...was something of a revelation." (Washington Post) Writing at classicstoday.com, David Vernier says "For years I've been singing the praises of this superb orchestra and conductor... but I'll say it one more time: if you haven't heard Les Violons du Roy, then you haven't heard one of the world's top-three Baroque-music orchestras. And Labadie deserves the acclaim and respect routinely assigned to such conductors as Koopman, Harnoncourt, and Herreweghe."

| Purcell | Selections from the "Suite from King Arthur" |
