Gérard Morin

Gérard Morin immersed himself in the world of family gatherings on the road of Côte Georges in St-Henri-de-Mascouche. His studies in Professional Teaching did not steer him away from his passion for calling in traditional dance, just like his father. From 1992 to 2003, he served as the president of AQLF Richelieu-Yamaska in Granby. Additionally, he was a caller for the Danseurs et Musiciens de l’Île Jésus in Laval from 2001 to 2016. Gérard held the position of secretary at the SPDTQ in Montreal from 2001 to 2007. He played the role of host at Plateau gatherings and taught calling at the École des Arts de la Veillée. Currently, he is a caller for the P’tites Veillées de Terrebonne and participates in calling workshops throughout Quebec.

Zigue

Since 1992, Claude Méthé and Dana Whittle have been playing, composing, and sharing everything in music. Both are singers and prolific songwriters overflowing with creativity and love for the style of music they create together, primarily inspired by the traditional roots of Quebec. Zigue is an amalgamation, a fusion of simple and complementary elements drawn from the contemporary landscape of their imagination. Here, Claude’s heartfelt and authentic violin playing is supported with rare precision by Dana’s rhythmically assured guitar accompaniment, which also carries, delicately, her powerful voice. The addition of their son, Aimé Méthé, in 2019 perfectly illustrates their commitment to preserving musical heritage and brings new intensity to their sound. By the end of 2022, a fourth member with multiple talents, Mario St-Germain, joined their ranks, further enriching their deeply rooted sound. On stage, magic happens—an energy that can only be found within the “family”—meaning the great family of tradition!

Cécilia

Cécilia is traditional music that creates a sensation and fills every room! Widely recognized as three of Canada’s finest musicians, it’s a delight to witness how much Timi Turmel, Erin Leahy, and Louis Schryer enjoy playing together. While honoring their legacy as Cécilia, their music undeniably has a fresh and lively sound. They blend the best of various musical worlds in their explorations of traditional, Celtic, and Quebecois music. Each of their pieces is skillfully arranged and enhanced by influences from contemporary, classical, jazz, and swing styles. Cécilia’s recent debut album, Accent, is an impressive offering full of vibrant rhythms and melodies, all resonating with a unique warmth and expressive richness. Every Cécilia performance is an invitation to come out and share—not only the joy of three dedicated musicians making music together but also the creation, with Timi, Erin, and Louis, of a distinct and memorable musical experience. You’ll find yourself smiling long after the last notes of Cécilia’s accordion, piano, and violin have faded away.
