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.

The animal kingdom comes alive through charming works for orchestra under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Nicholas Kraemer. Dogs bark in Vivaldi’s “Spring” Concerto from the famous Four Seasons. Crickets chirp in Telemann’s unusually scored Cricket Symphony, while frogs ribbit in his virtuosic concerto for violin. Delight in the “clucking” and “scratching” in Haydn’s Hen Symphony, which closes the program on a wonderfully humorous note.

The popularity of the coffee shop didn’t start with Starbucks—back in the Baroque era it was the place to hang out, to see and be seen, to gossip, meet friends and to discover the latest music. We invite you to be transported back in time to our own coffee shop to hear double Harpsichord Concertos featuring Bach’s usual invention, energy and drive, (here played by husband-wife duo of Richard Egarr and Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya), paired with music of grace and charm by Telemann.

Fans of Baroque music need look no further — join us for a concert that showcases SPCO members both as soloists and as stellar chamber musicians! Following Arcangelo Corelli’s titular Concerto Grosso, a full-bodied work that is both mournful and energetic, SPCO trumpeter Lynn Erickson will play a dazzling Baroque concerto. Works by Georg Philipp Telemann and Antonio Vivaldi provide unique instrumentations that highlight the musical diversity of the SPCO, while Philip Glass’ Echorus for Two Violins and Strings brings a minimalist sensibility — an ethereal heartbeat through the light pulse of SPCO musicians in unison.

Music from the Baroque era stimulates the senses, lifts the spirits, and inspires faith in all things good. The evolution of everything in music—from the art of counterpoint to the invention of new forms—transformed Baroque composers into unstoppable creators as they experimented with new musical styles and combinations of instruments. In this opening concert, we’ll experience six trailblazing composers showing their skills in a colorful collection of instruments and ensembles.

In this quirky and humor-infused program, we highlight our Young Artist Winners, James Johnston and Sarah Harris.  We also welcome our area youth orchestras on stage to join us for Franz Schubert’s Overture “In the Italian Style”, a Rossini-inspired work that captures the effervescence of the lively Italian opera overture with beautiful operatic melodies and blazing finale.  The evening begins with the whimsical Little Suite from Comedy on the Bridge, an opera where all the main characters get stranded on a bridge.  The program takes a twist in Telemann’s Don Quichotte, a sort of musical novel where the over-hyped image of Cervantes’ Don Quixote has a unique take on reality.  The first sounds of Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 103 will reveal instantly why it received the nickname, “Drumroll”.  What follows is a symphony full of imagination and wit that exemplifies a grandmaster of symphonic writing over sixty years in the making.

Artistic Partner Richard Egarr brings both dramatic flair and tenderness to works from the Baroque era. Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber were pioneers of the violin and their groundbreaking music uses new techniques to depict the sounds of battle, rowdy soldiers singing at a pub and the song of a nightwatchman. Johann Sebastian Bach’s beloved Orchestral Suite No. 3 is filled with flashy brass fanfares and vigorous dances, and includes “Air on the G String,” one of his most famous melodies

Handel's glorious music for a lavish barge expedition on the River Thames and one of Bach's most treasured orchestral compositions create the pillars that surround a pair of imaginative works by Telemann: an Oboe Concerto that begins with a stupefying introduction and a sweetly sensitive musical characterization of "The Ingenious Gentleman Sir Quixote of La Mancha."

Bach, Barges, and a Burlesque

Locatelli's rarely performed concerto "The Harmonic Labyrinth" is named after its extraordinarily expansive cadenza. YuEun Gemma Kim will bring her dazzling technique to this piece, equally matched by ABS flutist Sandra Miller's definitive performance of Bach's Orchestral Suite for flauto traverso and strings. Elegance is at the foreground of Telemann's Concerto and Quartet. And Bach's merry and bright Wedding Cantata sets the stage for this Sunday matinée.

The Harmonic Labyrinth

Soprano Mary Wilson's scintillating vocalism will captivate your ears in performances of two of Handel's most beautiful secular cantatas. Viola da gamba and recorders are at the core of the instrumental ensemble sonority, and two tour-de-force concertos for virtuoso violin bring excitement and palpable bravura to the stage.

Music is one of humanity’s most treasured and enduring experiences combining physical science and human emotional response. This concert presentation is split into two parts. The first, shorter segment features Music Director <a>Michael Christie</a>, guest artists <a>Jiji Kim</a>, <a>James Grinta</a>, and an expert in the field of physics to demonstrate how sound is created and becomes a visceral emotional response. The second segment, the concert portion of the presentation, features works that highlight composers’ use of distance, combinations of sounds and instruments to touch our hearts and souls. Choose to attend one or both presentations and enjoy a fascinating look into how energy becomes sound and sound becomes memories and emotions.
The first portion of the presentation will commence at 6:30pm and last approximately 40 minutes followed by a 20 minute intermission. The concert portion of the event will commence at 7:30pm and last approximately 70 minutes.
