PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts and Twilight Music present an evening of Québécois music from Canada and the U.S. by two trios - É.T.É and Yann Falquet with Emily Troll and Eric Boodman - on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at Next Stage.
É.T.É. concert experiences celebrate the joie de vivre of Québécois culture. With vocal harmonies, step-dancing, and instrumentation, the trio creates original compositions and unique arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire.
Since winning the OPUS prize for "Discovery of the Year 2017–2018," Élisabeth Moquin (fiddle, step-dancing, vocals), Thierry Clouette (bouzouki, podorythmie or foot percussion, vocals), and Élisabeth Giroux (cello, vocals), have shared their take on Québec traditional music with audiences worldwide.
Perhaps best known as a founder and one third of the Québécois traditional music trio Genticorum, Falquet has developed a personal guitar style for Québec folk music he says is inspired by the music of Brittany, Scandinavia, Ireland, and North America. A singer and instrumentalist who has collaborated with numerous internationally known folk music artists, Yann will be accompanied by Troll (fiddle, accordion, vocals) and Eric Boodman (fiddle, foot percussion).
Next Stage is at 15 Kimball Hill in downtown Putney. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $10 for access to the livestream. For information, call 802-387-0102. Advance tickets are available at nextstagearts.org. Next Stage will provide a beer, wine, and cocktail cash bar. This concert is sponsored in part by the Délégation du Québec à Boston.
