Olympia Quebec TuneFest !!! Brighten your fall season with a harvest of kitchen music from Québec and Acadie, AND do some good, right here at home! 25% of all proceeds will be donated to help local homeless families in need. AND enjoy some seasonal homemade Acadian and Quebec treats, including ployes, crêtons, and maple syrup tart!

WHAT WILL I LEARN? In this TuneFest, you will learn 3-4 new tunes from eastern Quebec and New Brunswick (a new tune from Genticorum’s Pascal Gemme, and reels from Acadian fiddler Robin LeBlanc and Ste. Louise accordion legend Réjean Lizotte).

HOW WILL I LEARN? A few days before our first session, I will send all registrants a list of the tunes we will be playing, along with sheet music. Tunes will be taught by ear at the sessions.

ALL MELODY INSTRUMENTS WELCOME. fiddle, whistle, flute, accordion, concertina, clarinet, banjo, whatever!

ACCOMPANIMENT INSTRUMENTS TOO: If you play guitar, bass, or piano, and want to learn back-up, you are welcome. I will have chord charts for the tunes we will be learning. One pianist only, though, so if you are interested, sign up now!

WHEN AND WHERE? The TuneFest runs from 10:30am-12:30pm and will take place at my home in SE Olympia (details furnished upon registration).

WHAT TO BRING? Please bring yourself, your instrument(s), and a recording device if you have one.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST: The TuneFest is offered on a sliding scale from $20-40. Pre-registration is required!
