Canadian supergroup Genticorum will grace Midcoast Maine with their musicianship and teaching expertise.
A distinctive voice of Québécois traditional music, Genticorum is Pascal Gemme on fiddle, mandolin, foot percussion and voice; Yann Falquet on guitar, jaw harp, and voice; and Nicholas Williams on accordion, flute, and voice. In French, to describe the chemistry between people, you say they have atomes crochus—literally, that their atoms are interlaced—and Genticorum’s chemistry is magnetic. At its root, this is social music, and audiences connect deeply with the pleasure that Pascal, Yann, and Nicholas get from playing together!
Sunday’s programs are at Bagaduce Music, 49 South St in Blue Hill. The 1:00 pm Québécois song workshop provides a rare opportunity to explore this distinctive vocal repertoire with Genticorum. The trio’s full-voiced harmonic singing draws on their deep roots in traditional music, which they share with skill and joie de vivre. The matinee concert starts at 4:00 pm, and after the show, audience members can plan an evening meal on the Blue Hill Peninsula.
These programs are made possible by supporters of Belfast Flying Shoes and Bagaduce Music, and by media sponsor WERU Community Radio. For tickets and information, visit www.bagaducemusic.org
