Through musical exchanges and collaborations created specifically for this event, CMA 2024 ends on a sweet note. Full of emotion, hope, joy, and love, l’Au revoir harnesses the voices of the sea, the earth, and the constant winds that take us away and continually bring us back together to present a unique binding moment that will leave enduring ripples in the hearts of those who participate.
“What a great honor to be able to live my Acadie, body and soul, alongside such monumental artists and talented people,” says Yvette d’Entremont, co-artistic director of l’Au revoir. “I can’t wait to let our visitors experience the flavors of our region, in all its beauty.”
“Collaborating in the creation of this type of show and being part of it is a moment that I have dreamed of for a long time,” says Ronald Bourgeois, co-artistic director of l’Au revoir. “It is rare to have such a unique opportunity with such talented people. I have goosebumps just thinking about it.”
