Chœur Louisbourg and Skye Consort Concert and CD Launch

The Louisbourg Choir is releasing its first CD on the ATMA Classique label.  Chansons d’amour d’Acadie et de France (Love Songs from Acadia and France) offers an original and exceptional musical program of Acadian folksongs and polyphonic songs from the Renaissance.  Arranged especially for this occasion by Seán Dagher of Skye Consort, these folksongs emerge in new and creative ways: rich vocal harmonies and the colourful sound of period instruments.  As for the polyphonic songs, they were written by Jacotin LeBel (ca. 1516-1556), one of the most mysterious musicians of the Renaissance.  

The Fredericton concert and launch will take place on September 24, 7:30 p.m., at Wilmot United Church.  

Tickets are $25 and will be on sale at the door. Admission is free for students.​
