Cà d’Zan House Concerts will present Cécilia, one of Canada’s most dynamic and exciting traditional music groups, on Sunday, Sept. 21. The evening begins with a potluck and social hour from 6-7 p.m., followed by the concert at 7 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. This all-ages event has a suggested donation of $20-30 to support the artists.
Cécilia is the inspired collaboration of three of Canada’s finest musicians: accordionist Timi Turmel, pianist/violinist Erin Leahy, and fiddler Louis Schryer. Together, they craft a blend of Celtic, Québecois, and traditional music infused with elements of jazz, swing, and classical influences. Their performances are joyous, virtuosic, and deeply human, inviting audiences to share in the sheer fun and connection of live music.
Their debut album, Accent, showcases the trio’s vibrant arrangements and rhythmic drive, and their concerts have been described as “overflowing with warmth, energy, and soul.” Whether weaving the intricate fiddle lines of Schryer – an eight-time Canadian fiddle champion – the powerhouse piano and violin of Erin Leahy, or Turmel’s dazzling accordion playing, Cécilia creates an experience that lingers long after the final note.
Each performance is not just a concert but a celebration of tradition, innovation, and community. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience three master musicians at the top of their craft in an intimate small-town setting.
