Info
This concert at Kings Place in London brings together the music of Scotland and Quebec in Le Retour: Scotland Meets Quebec, a live collaboration between Scotland’s Breabach and Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord.
Scotland and Quebec have long been connected through migration, language, dance and song, and in Le Retour that connection becomes a vivid and powerful live experience.
First brought together in 2010 through the project Le Québec rencontre l’Écosse, Breabach and Le Vent du Nord toured across Scotland and Quebec, discovering an immediate musical kinship. They return with a new show shaped through creative residencies in Glasgow and at the Savannah Music Festival.
This is not a double bill. It is a full ten-piece collaboration, with both bands performing together as one ensemble.
Highland pipes, uilleann pipes, whistle, fiddle, step-dance, guitar and double bass meet hurdy-gurdy, diatonic accordion, bouzouki, foot percussion and the vocal traditions of French-speaking Canada. The result is a concert full of reels, driving rhythms, songs, slow airs and the lift of musicians playing side by side.
This event will last approximately 90 minutes.
