Peterborough Folk Music presents Le Vent du Nord Friday, March 31, at 7 p.m. at The Park Theatre, 19 Main St. in Jaffrey.
Le Vent du Nord is a leading force in Québec’s Francophone folk movement. Its repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while their music, rooted in the Celtic diaspora, is enhanced with a broad range of global influences.
Since first launching in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord has performed more than 2,200 concerts over four continents and won awards that include a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award and Artist of the Year at Folk Alliance Annual Gala.
The group regularly appears on Canadian, American, French and United Kingdom television and radio and has collaborated and performed with artists who include Harry Manx, Väsen, Dervish, The Chieftains, Breton musical pioneer Yann-FañchKemener, Québécois roots legend and storyteller Michel Faubert, the Scottish folk band Breabach, Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis and the trans-Mediterranean ensemble Constantinople.
Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. For information, go to pfmsconcerts.org.
