Suzie Leblanc

Happy New Year! It's only February, but 2012 is already shaping up to be a productive year for Suzie.

As well as recording and performing, Suzie will be engaging in a different form of creativity as well: she will be traveling this spring to Midlothian, Scotland, where she has been awarded a fellowship at Hawthorden Castle's International Retreat for Writers. Hawthornden is a beautiful 17th century castle which, since 1982, has been a residence for five published writers each year. Suzie is looking forward with excitement to her time as a Hawthornden Fellow.

For those who are hoping for some concerts this year, Suzie will still be performing a few programmes. Please visit the Schedule page for information on newly scheduled concerts in Quebec and Taiwan. More information will be added soon. In the meantime, stay warm and happy and enjoy the winter!

Enjoy this excerpt of the film "A Musical Quest" which traces Suzie LeBLanc's quest for and performance of traditional Acadian music, while reaffirming her own connections with the land of her birth and its history. It follows her as she researches, rehearses, and performs for the first time the music for her much-heralded CD, "Tout passe".
