La Famille LeBlanc Performs a Free Virtual Show!

The next show during the Mont-Carmel Fall & Winter Concert Series, presented by the Coopérative de développement culturel et patrimonial de Mont-Carmel (CDCPMC), will take place virtually on Sunday, February 13 at 7 p.m. on its Facebook page.   This show will feature New Brunswick’s traditional musical family - La Famille LeBlanc.

For La Famille LeBlanc, it is essential to preserve, share and pass down traditions.  Robin, his wife Rebecca and their three daughters Charlotte, Rosalie and Mélodie spend countless hours performing songs and tunes from the Acadian repertoire in order to introduce them to the rest of the world.  La Famille LeBlanc’s music comes from their Acadian culture and represents styles from various parts of the world including the Acadian Peninsula in Gaspésie, Chéticamp, Memramcook, Prince Edward Island, the Magdalen Islands, Newfoundland and all the way to Poitou in France.  La Famille LeBlanc consists of Charlotte who is 14 years old on the fiddle, stepdancing and vocals, Rosalie who is thirteen years old on the concertina, vocals and stepdancing, Mélodie who is eleven years old on the flute and stepdancing, their mother Rebecca on the bodhràn and vocals and their father Robin on the piano and fiddle.  During this show, they will be accompanied by Nicolas Basque on acoustic guitar and Julien Breau on the stand-up bass.

This free hour-long show featuring La Famille LeBlanc will take place this Sunday at 7 p.m. on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CDCPMC.  Each week, until March 27, a free virtual show will take place on Sunday night on our Facebook page.  The artists being featured during the rest of the month of February are: Inn Echo (February 20) and Güiza featuring Luisa Güiza, Tom Gammons and Mario Jones (Febraury 27).

The mandate of the Coopérative de développement culturel et patrimonial de Mont-Carmel is to showcase, develop and promote the rich cultural heritage of Mont-Carmel.
