Called "three of the finest folk violinists anywhere" by The Washington Post, fiddlers Kevin Burke, Christian Lemaître and André Brunet showcase a fascinating juxtaposition of international and individual styles. Playing the fluid, highly-ornamented style of County Sligo, Kevin Burke is a world-renowned Irish fiddler whose formidable career includes the seminal Irish groups The Bothy Band and Patrick Street. A founding member of Kornog, Christian Lemaître honed his skills playing the hypnotic Breton melodies at festou-noz (night dances) throughout Brittany, the Celtic region of France. André Brunet, the newest member, is a wonderful young French-Canadian fiddler playing the infectiously rhythmic tunes of Quebec. Along with acclaimed guitarist Nicholas Quemener from Brittany, the quartet combines their talents, musical traditions, and spontaneous humour for an evening of dazzling energy and subtle grace.
