Les Violons Du Roy History
Les Violons Du Roy was founded in 1984 in Quebec City, Canada, emerging from a desire to create a vibrant orchestra that specializes in baroque and classical music. The ensemble was formed by a group of talented musicians who wanted to highlight the beauty of the string repertoire, particularly works that were historically significant yet often overlooked. The name 'Les Violons Du Roy' translates to 'The King's Violins', paying homage to the traditional orchestras of the 17th and 18th centuries that performed for royalty. Over the years, the ensemble has gained a reputation for its exquisite performances, characterized by a rich, warm sound and a deep understanding of historical performance practices. This has allowed them to draw attention not only in Canada but also internationally, as they have toured extensively, playing in prestigious venues across Europe and North America. Their commitment to both education and performance has enriched the cultural landscape of Quebec, inspiring new generations of musicians and music lovers alike. The orchestra has often collaborated with renowned soloists and conductors, showcasing their versatility and dedication to excellence in live concert experiences.
