Artists
Orchestra: | Les Solistes Français An ensemble of French and French‐speaking string players drawn from Europe's most celebrated conservatoires, Les Solistes Français play regularly in Paris' most magnificent churches, including the Sainte‐Chapelle, Eglise Saint‐Germain‐des‐Prés, Eglise Saint‐Séverin and in venues around France and Europe, under the leadership of Paul Rouger. Combining exceptional talent and technique with a commitment to shared experience and camaraderie among their number, their concerts are known for a warm atmosphere full of feeling. The group's repertoire focuses primarily on the classical canon, but the ensemble is also known for its interpretations of new works, and its recordings on the harmonia mundi Loreley label have attracted great success. |

Soloist, Violin: | Paul Rouger The French violinist‐turned‐conductor is something of a musical polymath. Having entered professional studies at the tender age of 13, he enjoyed a successful solo and orchestral career, appearing with many prominent ensembles, before taking up the conductor's baton. A respected chamber musician, Rouger now leads the ensemble he founded — Les Solistes Français — a virtuosic ensemble that regularly plays in Paris' most exquisite historic venues as well as touring further afield. Rouger has also distinguished himself as an arranger. |
