Les Violons de France

Founded in 1995 by violinist Frédéric Moreau, Les Violons de France brings together musicians around a shared passion for performance. Its identity combines the intimacy of a string ensemble with the presence and virtuosity of its soloists.

Its success from the very first concerts springs as much from the exceptional quality of its performances as from a genuine bond between its musicians, brought together for their artistic and human qualities and for their passion for sharing music with the widest possible audience.

Its musicians regularly perform as soloists with the orchestra and hold the highest distinctions in their fields. The ensemble performs the masterpieces of the repertoire and adapts many scores to the virtuosity of its soloists. For the symphonic repertoire, winds and percussion join the strings to form the Orchestre Philharmonique d’Île-de-France.

Some hundred concerts each year in the most prestigious Parisian venues, along with many tours in France and abroad. Internationally, the orchestra has been invited by the Celebrity Concert Series and the Gardner Concert Hall in Salt Lake City (USA), the Seoul Arts Center (South Korea) and the Balletto di Milano (Italy), as well as by many festivals.

Frédéric Moreau’s diabolically virtuosic violin, in the manner of a Paganini, unfolds on stage a kind of extraordinary firework: music that makes people happy.
