Rural venue lets artists shine on more intimate stage
As cooler weather is approaching, Jocelyne Baribeau is aiming to bridge language barriers among musicians through a new concert series called Icebreakers. The first concert will take place this Sunday at Baribeau's rural home near St. Geneviève, which is about 30 minutes east of the Perimeter. The annual subscription to access the series is $205.00 plus GST, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks.
Baribeau, a former Western Canadian Music Award winner, intends to create an intimate rural setting where musicians can experiment and collaborate with peers they may not otherwise share a stage with. The concert will feature Baribeau, St. Boniface singer Sala, folk duo Burnstick, songwriter Jacob Brodovsky, and other artists like Kendra Kay, Brandon Post, and Rayannah.
Baribeau, the vice-president of the Canadian Folk Music Awards, hopes the series will erase the invisible line between French and English musical events, emphasizing that music transcends language. Tickets for Sunday's show are priced at $30 and can be purchased at atelier48.ca.
