Jeremy Denk with Les Violons du Roy

This performance was originally scheduled for Friday, February 5, 2021.
Led by the charismatic MacArthur ‘genius’ award-winning pianist Jeremy Denk, Quebec’s Les Violins de Roy perform Renaissance and Baroque works culminating with J.S. Bach’s Keyboard Concerti in E Major and D Minor.

“Is Les Violons du Roy perhaps the best early-music ensemble in North America? Check.” (The Washington Post)

“Mr. Denk is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination – both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing.” (The New York Times)
Presented in association with the Bureau du Québec.
