French-Canadian concert set Tuesday at Port Townsend’s Quimper Grange

PORT TOWNSEND — Le Bruit Court Dans La Ville of Quebec will perform Tuesday following a musician’s workshop as part of a series of traditional music house concerts hosted by the Quimper Grange.

The workshop will be from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Quimper Grange hall, 1219 Corona St. Admission is $15.

It is open to all musicians on acoustic instruments — fiddle, guitar, accordion, concertina, flute, mandolin, banjo and clarinet.

At the band-lab-style Quebecois music workshop, they will teach two to three tunes and leave some time for jamming and conversation.

Le Bruit Court Dans La Ville will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.

Admission to the evening concert is $15 to $25.

Fiddle Tunes

The members of Le Bruit have been on staff at the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend numerous times and are skilled teachers as well as performers.

The band members are Lisa Ornstein on fiddle, Andre Marchand on guitar and vocals, and Normand Miron on accordion and vocals.

Ornstein and Marchand met as bandmates in La Bottine Souriante, a traditional music group that kickstarted Quebec’s folk music revival.

Miron grew up surrounded by family musicians in Lanaudière, the epicenter of Quebec’s folk scene.
