Performing with
Les Violons du Roy
Jonathan Cohen, conductor

Returning to FCM’s series for a second time, Quebec’s 15-member Les Violins du Roy – named after the court orchestra of the French Kings – will perform a program of Baroque and Classical music with Conductor and Music Director Jonathan Cohen. Thirty-six recordings by Les Violons du Roy have all been met with widespread critical acclaim.

Les Violons du Roy will be joined by the world-renowned classical guitarist, MILOS. His career began its meteoric rise in 2011 with the release of his international best- selling Deutsche Grammophon debut album Mediterraneo.
