A rock star of French society, Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was a man of colour, a champion swordsman, a composer whose music was universally praised and a violinist whose playing amazed. The stories of the Chevalier are rich with love, ambition, triumph and deception. With the French Revolution on the horizon, the royal court of Queen Marie Antoinette was a place of power and intrigue, and Bologne was in the middle of it all!
Roy Lewis, celebrated Canadian actor, reimagines the story of this fascinating man while London Symphonia performs music by Bologne as well as works by Mozart and Haydn, who knew him.
Join them as Joe Lanza, London Symphonia’s beloved Concertmaster, leads London Symphonia from the chair, in his final concert before his retirement. Celebrate one of Canada’s finest in his 40th season as Concertmaster.
