Les Violons du Roy

Les Violons du Roy is a French-Canadian chamber orchestra based in QuÃ©bec City, QuÃ©bec. The orchestra's principal venue is the Palais Montcalm in QuÃ©bec City. The orchestra also performs concerts in MontrÃ©al at the Place des Arts, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and St. James United Church. In 1984, Bernard Labadie founded the ensemble, following productions at the UniversitÃ© Laval of the baroque operas Dido and Aeneas and L'incoronazione di Poppea, using the orchestra for these productions as the new ensemble's core. The ensemble's name is an adaptation of the 17th century French royal court orchestra Les Vingt-quatre Violons du Roi. Numbering 15 musicians, the orchestra performs on modern instruments, but incorporates period performance practice into its performances of music from the 17th and 18th centuries, including using duplicates of period bows for string instruments, and sparing use of vibrato. Labadie founded an affiliate chorus for Les Violons du Roy in 1985, under the original name of Ensemble vocal Bernard Labadie. In 1991, the choir changed its name to La Chapelle de QuÃ©bec. Labadie continues as music director of both Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de QuÃ©bec.
