Les Violons du Roy: with Karina Gauvin, soprano

Founded in 1984 by artistic director Bernard Labadie, Les Violons du Roy have brought "joyful hearts and impeccable ensemble" (Joanne Sheehy Hoover for the Albuquerque Journal) as well as scholarship to music of the Baroque and Classical periods. As noted in Canada's Le Devoir, "Les Violons du Roy are impeccably refined and precise. Their chemistry becomes invisible, inaudible...so that only its result is apparent, as formidable as it is unexpected." Karina Gauvin, a prizewinner in Canada, England, France, and the Netherlands, is renowned for her ability to convey the musical heart of every piece she performs.
