Va-et-vient

Va-et-vient will kick off Labor Day weekend with a rare appearance in Franklin County, Vermont, with a concert at the beautiful Opera House in Enosburg Falls.  Come join us as summer vacations wind down, and get your kids excited for Back-to-School (where hopefully French classes await!) with the chance to chantez avec nous.

With a BMW motorcycle club en visite du Québec, this private event features a Saturday night soirée, with special guest musician Adam Dewey joining Va-et-vient to get toute la gang up and moving!  Bienvenus au Vermont à tous les invités !

As the leaves turn the countryside rainbow colors, load up your family or friends for the beautiful drive to Sheldon, VT, near St. Albans, and bring them to Grace Church, where Va-et-vient will perform lively French tunes, celebrating local heritage, and get you dancing in the aisles.  Suggested donation is $15.00, and families are welcome to create their own family price, as we love to get those little ones singing and dancing too!

We are delighted to perform Friday night for the opening of the 26th edition of this wonderful festival in Essex Junction, Vermont, where hundreds of cultures are represented with music, dance, crafts, art, and food!  This festival brings world travelers together with all their stories, and provides a magical holiday shopping experience.  Va-et-vient will perform from 5:30 to 6:00 pm on the Main Stage adjoining the World Café, and again from 7:30 to 8:00 pm on the Zócalo Stage.  Be ready to sing and dance avec nous !

Va-et-vient is delighted to perform at Brandon Music.  Selected as Editor's Choice for Yankee magazine's "Best of New England 2012," it's located just outside of Brandon, VT (by the golf course).  Be sure to call ahead to reserve your tickets, and seats for a pre-concert dinner at the Brandon Music Café, prepared by its outstanding chef, or enjoy some delicious desserts during intermission.  The acoustics are fabulous at this location, so we will hear you well if you wish to join in and chantez avec nous !

Please plan ahead to join us for Saint Johnsbury's wonderful New Year's Eve celebration – the warmth of the audiences more than compensates for the cold outside!  Va-et-vient will again perform two sets, at 4:00 & 6:00 pm at the Universalist Unitarian Congregation on 47 Cherry St., to sing good-bye to 2018 in St. Johnsbury.  Hundreds of performers at sixteen venues around the city will help you ring out the old and ring in the new in this alcohol-free city-wide festival from 4 pm to midnight.  Get buttons early for this outstanding celebration to welcome in 2019! ($20/adult and $12/student until Read More

Come join us for a free concert at Helen Porter in Middlebury!  The public is welcome to come down and join the residents, and as always, chantez avec nous!

Come join us at Helen Porter Rehab Center in Middlebury, VT for an intimate afternoon concert.  On peut chanter tous ensemble !

Carol Reed is honored to participate in this concert commemoration of Vermont's Martha Pellerin, 20 years after her passing.  Martha was a huge inspiration for our band members, and dedicated her life to keeping the vibrant music and culture of Franco-Americans alive and well.  She taught Québecois songs and dances throughout New England, led internships in many Vermont schools with her group Jeter le Pont, and founded "La danse des enfants," a touring group of young traditional Québecois dancers and Vermont musicians.  A full slate of musicians, including Martha's bandmates Dana Whittle and Claude Méthé, Carmen Beaudoin Bombardier, Benoit and Antoine Bourque, and Read More
