Va-et-vient

It's always a joy to perform at Middlebury College, particularly in the building that was Carol's dormitory forty-some years ago.  Please have fun following the Summer School's Language pledge--your grammar and spelling won't count against you!  Et surtout, chantez avec nous, les ami.e.s !

We are so happy to see this wonderful celebration of French Heritage in Vermont resume in Winooski.  Va-et-vient is delighted to again join the line-up singing at this outdoor festival by the old Champlain Mill in Winooski's Falls Mill District.   Hosted by the City of Winooski, and sponsored by the Alliance Française of the Lake Champlain Region, the date has now moved to be closer to Québec's beloved Saint-Jean-Baptiste.  From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, the area will be bustling with music, food, and all things fun.  It coincides with the weekly farmer's market as well.  À tantôt !

We're excited to share this small local venue with Richard Ruane and Beth Duquette, friends and long-time collaborators who play original music with a clear traditional-roots influence steeped in tradition, but of its own time. Par la suite, Va-et-Vient (Carol Reed, Suzanne Germaine, and Lausanne Allen) will take you through the centuries from France to Québec and New Orleans with lively dance numbers, touching love songs, kickin’ Cajun and Créole tunes, and rollicking Québecois favorites. Bring what you will:  folding chairs, beverage of choice, blankets and the like.  Remember to bring some cash or Venmo. (freddanforth1@gmail.com ) We ask for $20 each, but emphasize that Read More
