the Americas

LICENSING

Presented at Bourgie Hall in April 2026, Beauty from the Americas brought together the chamber orchestra Les Violons du Roy, conductor Nicolas Ellis, and violinist Kerson Leong for a musical journey inspired by the cultures of the Americas.

From the rich colors of Villa-Lobos and the energy of Jessie Montgomery to a violin concerto by François Dompierre and Dvořák’s celebrated American Quartet reimagined for string orchestra, the concert offered an evening that was vibrant, refined, and full of emotion.
