WELCOME BACK
TO LIVE CLASSICAL MUSIC
WITH CAMA!
CAMA returns to presenting live music with Canada’s highly acclaimed Les Violons du Roy (The Violins of the King). The ensemble has been a focal point of Québec City’s musical life since it was founded in 1984 and continues to explore the nearly boundless repertoire of music for chamber orchestra. Les Violons du Roy takes its name from the legendary 17th‑century French royal court orchestra Les Vingt‑quatre Violons du Roy. The ensemble will perform a full evening of Bach and Vivaldi concertos featuring the return of virtuoso Israeli mandolinist Avi Avital, who wowed a sold‑out Granada audience of enthusiastic Baroque music fans at CAMA’s 100th Season Community Concert with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in December 2018. Join CAMA as we return to presenting music by the world’s greatest classical artists at the Lobero Theatre as we have done since the 1920s!
