For more than twenty years, soprano Suzie LeBlanc has explored the rich heritage of traditional Acadian songs. Reflecting the deep historical ties between Acadia and France, these songs have travelled across centuries and oceans, evolving with each generation and every journey.
Joined by an outstanding ensemble of musicians performing on period instruments, Suzie LeBlanc brings together traditional Acadian songs and 17th-century French court airs in a program that reveals their shared roots. The repertoire includes songs from Shippagan collected by Dr. Joseph-Dominique Gauthier between 1950 and 1957, alongside works by Michel Lambert, Honoré d'Ambruis, and Jacques Hotteterre.
