Va-et-Vient

The group’s focus is French music from Quebec, France and Louisiana. A sizeable percentage of New England’s population is of French-Canadian descent. Va-et-vient celebrates the music of this wonderfully rich culture, and keeps its presence alive for both young and old listeners through performance and education. In turn, VEV, as a presenter of Franco-American music, is continuously expanding its repertoire through study and discovery of resources, ranging from archived recordings to singing sessions at the homes of some of Quebec’s most respected keepers of the songs.
