Originally a dancer, James started calling in 1988. He is the sole member of the new generation to call in English, respecting this tradition of over 60 years in the Inverness townships, which stretch along the North-East limit of the Les Bois-Francs region, between Beauce and the Eastern Townships, on the South shore of the St-Lawrence River. As always, James will give his explanations in French, present the vocabulary of the workshop, and call in English.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morrin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/francois-dumas.jpg\" width=\"378\" height=\"244\" \/>Born in Saint-Charles de Bellechasse,\u00a0<strong>Fran\u00e7ois Dumas<\/strong> discovered the violing at 4 years old. Very young, he developed a passion for the music of his idol Jean Carignan, whose style he will study methodically. Today, Fran\u00e7ois is admired and known everywhere as a violonist with exceptional talent. Thanks to his breathtaking bow manipulation, Fran\u00e7ois Dumas has become a worthy bearer of Jean Carignan\u2019s repertoire and technique. Fran\u00e7ois has participated in many shows and recordings. His love of qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois folklore has carried him a little bit everywhere on Quebec stages, in a few European countries, and in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morrin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/susie-lemay-e1765831354464.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Susie Lemay<\/strong>\u00a0started playing the accordion through her family\u2019s influence. In 1987, she started exploring traditional music from Quebec, Ireland, Scotland, and musette on the melodeon and the three-row accordion with musical masters such as Denis P\u00e9pin and Philippe Bruneau. In 2005, Susie purchased a two-row, r\u00e9\/do# accordion. She has since dedicated her efforts to that instrument, and her music presents tonalities faithful to the original melodies and the opportunity to expend her repertoire through the adaptation of violin parts to the accordion. In recent years, she is also present in the field on the piano. In 2016, she founded the group \u201cTIPSY 3\u201d with two other musicians from the Maritimes, promoting traditional music from Eastern Canada. Many traditional music event organizers call on her to showcase her mastery of her instrument and her knowledge of the repertoire. She has performed in Quebec, in Canada, in the United States, and in Europe. She shares the best of the musical treasures in a universe where tradition doesn\u2019t have borders. In 2014, along with Denis P\u00e9pin, she was granted the \u201ccoup de coeur\u201d Heritage Prize from the Ville de L\u00e9vis for their album\u00a0<em>DEUX,<\/em>\u00a0which came out in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>In the Ballroom\u2014Traditional Music and Dance of a Community<\/em>\u00a0is presented in collaboration with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cvpv.net\/\">Centre de valorisation du patrimoine vivant \u00c8s TRAD<\/a>\u00a0and made possible thanks to financial support from the Gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec and Ville de Qu\u00e9bec through their cultural development agreement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morrin.org\/en\/in-the-ballroom\/\">Check out the full programming here!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Ballroom: Scottish and Irish Dances at Home Dive into the lively practice of traditional qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois dances!
