Les Violons du Roy, led by Jonathan Cohen, Music Director, and featuring MILOŠ, Guitar, arrive at the Midwest Trust Center on Thursday, May 2 for a 7:30 p.m. concert. Using copies of period bows on modern instruments, the ensemble plays works from the Baroque and Classical period with an approach strongly influenced by current research into performance practice in the 17th and 18th centuries. The orchestra also regularly delves into the repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The ensemble will be joined by MILOŠ, one of the world’s most celebrated classical guitarists. His career began its meteoric rise in 2011, with the release of his international best-selling Deutsche Grammophon debut album ‘Mediterraneo.’ Since then, he has earned legions of fans, awards, and acclaim around the world through his extensive touring, six chart topping recordings, and television appearances.
