| 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. |
