Les Violons du Roy

Les Violons du Roy has derived its name from the renowned string orchestra of the court of the French kings. The group, which has a core membership of fifteen players, was brought together in 1984 by artistic director Bernard Labadie and specializes in the vast repertoire of music for chamber orchestra, performed in a stylistic manner most appropriate to each era.

The orchestra has been widely acclaimed for the exceptional energy, brilliance and vitality of its performances.
A pillar of the musical scene in Québec City, and well known throughout Canada for its concerts and its recordings for the French and English networks of the CBC, Les Violons du Roy has, since 1988, made over a hundred concert appearances in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Mexico, Morocco, Norway, Spain, and United States.

Its performance of Handel's Messiah, regularly presented in Québec City, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto always create a critical and public sensation. The group also performed Bach's St. Matthew Passion in April 2000 and St. John Passion in April 2004, both in Québec City, Montreal and Toronto.
