Traverse and Genticorum
Traverse

Winner of the 2024 OPUS Award for Album of the Year in Quebec Traditional Music, Traverse features Laura Risk (violin), Nicholas Williams (accordion and flute), and Rachel Aucoin (piano).

These three accomplished musicians from diverse backgrounds—Laura from California, Nicholas from Ottawa, and Rachel from the Maritimes—have long been active in Quebec’s traditional music scene. Their travels take audiences from Montreal to Gaspésie and Scotland on an unexpected journey deep into tradition.

« Magnificent. Subtle experimentation elevates the arrangements to unexpected heights. » - The Guardian (UK)


Genticorum

Winner of the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for Group of the Year.

With multiple Juno and ADISQ nominations and four Canadian Folk Music Awards, Genticorum is a flagship group of Quebec traditional music. Their six albums and four EPs have earned critical acclaim in Canada and abroad, supporting a solid international career.


Founding members Pascal Gemme (violin) and Yann Falquet (guitar) are recognized for their important contributions to the trad scene. Since 2015, virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and composer Nicholas Williams (flute, accordion) has completed the trio.


Known for their energetic stage presence and precise, refined arrangements, the group has performed nearly 2,000 concerts in over 20 countries since 2003.


« Genticorum: acoustic energy. Nuanced in approach, rock in attitude, the power trio is a perfect blend of refinement and simplicity. » - Le Devoir
