This event will celebrate La Saint-Jean-Baptiste\, Québec’s National Holiday.   \nOn June 25 at 7pm\, ticket holders can view the hour-long\, pre-recorded concert in a Zoom call with the band\, who will be answering fan questions live in the chat. Ticket holders will also be able to join an 8:00pm afterparty on Zoom with the members of Genticorum. The Zoom link will be sent out to all ticket holders on June 25 by 2 p.m. Tickets are $10.00 and unlimited access to the concert recording will be available for 96 hours after the show. To purchase tickets\, visit https://bit.ly/3vShbHI.  \nThis virtual concert is made possible through the support of our generous sponsor\, Délégation du Québec in Boston. \n\nOver the past 20 years\, the traditional Québec group Genticorum has become a fixture on the international folk and Celtic music circuit. The band’s six albums met with critical acclaim in Canada\, the U.S.\, and Europe\, and their newest album was just nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards for “Best Ensemble” and “Best Traditional Record.” Firmly rooted in the soil of their native land\, the energetic and original traditional power trio weaves precise and intricate fiddle\, flute\, and accordion work along with gorgeous vocal harmonies\, energetic foot percussion\, and guitar accompaniment into a high-energy musical feast. Their distinctive sound\, sense of humor\, and stage presence always make for an amazing show. Genticorum has given more than 1\,000 concerts in more than 15 countries. \nPascal Gemme (fiddle\, feet\, voice) is widely recognized as a cultural ambassador for Québécois music. Yann Falquet is one of the most active and creative acoustic guitar players in the Québécois and New England music scenes. Since completing a bachelor’s degree in jazz\, he has developed his own personal guitar style for Québec folk music. Nicholas Williams has developed a reputation as a versatile and sought-after musician in the traditional music scenes of Québec and New England. His rhythmic yet nuanced style of flute-playing draws from Irish and Scottish traditions\, as well as from his studies of classical North Indian music.  \nOne of the most important holidays in Québec\, as well as in French Canada more broadly\, is Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Celebrated annually on June 24th\, it’s commonly referred to as La Saint-Jean. The general origin of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day comes from pre-Christian rituals around the time of the summer solstice on June 21. As Catholicism spread into France\, the summer solstice celebrations evolved during the 5th century into the feast day of John the Baptist. Traditionally\, bonfires would take place on the evening of June 24 in order to honor the saint. Designed to promote Québécois language and culture\, the first “official” Saint-Jean-Baptiste festival in Montreal occurred on June 24\, 1834.

The 2020 Rhode Island “Pandemic Edition” will look a little different than usual as we will be gathering outside for a socially-distanced\, pre-edited program\, but the spirit will be the same! This year we are excited to add LIVE MUSIC from New Bedford Symphony Orchestra musicians EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks and Peter Zay. \nPlease join the Rhode Island Historical Society\, in partnership with the Providence Children’s Film Festival and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association for a festive screening of home movies created between 1928 and 2020\, and consider submitting your own for the program! Home movies can be depictions of special events\, everyday life\, artistic expressions\, or just goofing around–most importantly\, they give the power of representation to the people\, and we want YOU to be a part of the show! \nThis year we’ll need your home movie to be digital (either “born-digital” or film/videotape that was already digitized)\, and we ask that it be no longer than 3 minutes. Please submit here and spread the word!
