The performances are an opportunity for school students and staff and community members to see and hear traditional Quebecois music and dance. During school visits students will learn material they can share with the artists at evening performances. MS Projects, LLC is producing and co-presenting the appearances with support from schools and other organizations.
Bon Débarras unites the worlds of music, dance and poetry featuring Montreal artists Dominic Desrochers, Jean-François Dumas and Véronique Plasse. The group uses a fusion of Quebecois folk music, traditional step-dancing and global influences for a performance that is full of fun and inventive energy. Using guitar, banjo, violin and harmonica, the trio opens a door to their recollections and their music as the intersection of variety of French traditions. Bon Débarras' energy taps into the rhythms of today and boldly travels a multi-faceted road to tomorrow's dreams, that transcends boundaries and ages.
