Va-et-vient

We had a fantastic time last year, and will be performing again in Poultney, Vermont, for Stone Valley Arts' 2nd Fridays Summer Concert Series.  We will be playing in the art gallery on the ground floor, then moving upstairs for some traditional French and Québécois dances, under Lausanne Allen's masterful direction.  A good time will be had by all!

Va-et-vient is delighted to perform in a new series of live music on the Bristol Trail, near 110 Airport Drive, in Bristol, VT 05443, held each second Sunday of the month.  There will be chairs and refreshments, and we'll be playing under a tent (happy to make room for you if the weather threatens!).  A grant has been secured, so this is a free event.  Come and enjoy an early summer hike on the beautiful trail, and plan to sit a spell at the beginning, ending, or both ends of your hike pour chanter avec nous !

The LaKermesse Franco American Festival in Biddeford, Maine has invited us to perform for their festival this summer.  Running from Thursday June 22 to Sunday June 25, this Family Fun festival is located at the St. Louis Field in Biddeford, Maine. The Main Gate is on the corner of Prospect Street and West Street, in Biddeford, ME.  There will be a parade on Saturday morning, then Va-et-vient will be performing in the afternoon.  Bring your Francophile attitude, your friends and family, et comme toujours, venez chantez avec nous !

Nous sommes ravies de nous retrouver à Middlebury College (Middlebury, Vermont) pour l'École française cet été !  On va dîner avec les étudiant.e.s avant le spectacle, et c'est possible qu'on va leur apprendre des pas de danses françaises.  Et c'est toujours un grand plaisir d'entendre les réponses des participant.e.s dans les chansons !

Pack yourself a nice picnic lunch (or pick up a to-go order from one of the numerous fine food establishments in the area), and come join us in Burlington, Vermont's lovely City Hall Park.  We're looking forward to a beautiful summer day playing by the recently recreated central fountain.  You'll find free wifi and public WCs in the adjacent City Hall.  Fêtons l'été ensemble, et comme toujours, chantez avec nous !

We are looking forward to performing in Shelburne again, at the lovely Shelburne Vineyard, as part of their wonderful music series.  More information to come soon!  Merci !

It's been a few years, but Va-et-vient is so pleased to be performing at the New World Festival, in Randolph, Vermont.  This is always a fabulous festival, bringing together many cultures and traditions in several venues for twelve hours the Sunday at the center of Labor Day weekend.  Come early, and stay late--you'll love the variety of music offered!  Specific times for Va-et-vient performances will be announced when the schedule is finalized.

We are excited to be featured in the new house concert series hosted by Dutton and Kathleen Smith, in their beautiful home in Middlebury, Vermont.  It will be the perfect, intimate venue for your participation, so please reserve your seats at your earliest convenience. $20 per person suggested.  Limited seating!  Email to reserve:  bluebirdstudio46@gmail.com
