Nicolas Babineau (modern fiddle, acoustic guitar) and Alexis Chartrand (baroque violin and foot percussion) offer a captivating dive into Quebec’s musical traditions. Inspired by a century of irresistible dance and fiddle music, they reveal the beautiful intricacy of Quebecois traditional melodies. Babineau/Chartrand’s uniquely sensitve and intimate approach brings together modern fiddling and baroque violin, bridging the gap between the old and the new.
