Les Violons du Roy has been a focal point of Québec City’s musical life since it was founded by Bernard Labadie in 1984. The ensemble takes its name from the celebrated court orchestra of the French kings. Under music director Jonathan Cohen, this orchestra soars to truly regal heights. With classical guitarist MILOŠ, Les Violons du Roy explores an expansive chamber orchestra repertoire with a skillful faithfulness to the period of each work.
