I’m very excited to announce the latest event collaboration as part of this project. In November, I was fortunate to meet some of the wonderful musicians keeping local musical heritage alive in the communities north and south of Quebec City. Many of these communities have a strong Irish heritage which lives on into the present-day.
On September 19, from 7 – 10 pm, in partnership with the Voice of English-Speaking Quebec (VEQ), the Shannon Catholic Women’s League, and the Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier Historical Committee, we are bringing you Saint Patrick’s Day in September.
We’ll be hearing from many of the musicians I met from Valcartier, Shannon, and Kinnear’s Mills in 2019 as well as several others joining us from far-and-wide. There will be something for everyone: fiddles, accordions, song, and dance.
