Avi Avital & Les Violons du Roy

Avi Avital is the first mandolinist to be nominated for a classical Grammy award, and he’s joined by Canadian orchestra Les Violons du Roy for a program of works by Avison, Bach, Scarlatti, and Vivaldi. Experience how Avital effortlessly uses eight strings of a mandolin to embellish upon music written for violin, imitate what’s written for 16-string lutes, and embody works written for keyboard & orchestra. While dramatic and expansive, this program shows the dreamy soundscape of the mandolin as a solo instrument, and not just a family member of bluegrass.

Les Violons du Roy perform with period flair, using historical bows and practices like senza (without) vibrato and alternate tuning, while maintaining their use of modern instruments. In collaboration with Avital, this program is an ideal blend between classical music from yesterday and today.
