23/24 Season Concert 7

Episcopal Church of St. Martin

California State University

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.

Les Violons du Roy

Stanford University

Revel in the charm and splendor of Versailles, Vienna, Venice, and more in this dazzling performance with violinist Alana Youssefian and conductor Geoffrey McDonald. Two captivating violin concertos, each the height of virtuosic baroque expression, contrasted by the haunting lament of Locatelli’s Sinfonia funebre and Rameau’s classic Les Indes Galantes.

Rameau, Leclair, & Locatelli

Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

Music that can provide stillness. It may sound contradictory, yet that is precisely what we want to do with our INKEER (CONTEMPLATION) concerts.

In a world that never stops and where we limp along from impulse to impulse, we all feel the need to stop every now and then. A concert is already an outstanding reflective moment but what if we enrich that experience further with mindfulness? On each occasion, we put forward an artist who, besides being an excellent performer, is also versed in meditation or yoga. The audience first takes part in a session before immersing yourself in the music.

Inkeer (Contemplation)

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.
