 “C’est Noël!”

Franco Center, Lewiston, ME

Joëlle Morris

Come celebrate the holidays with Joëlle, pianist Bridget Convey and flutist Christopher Lansley, as they set the mood for Christmas by featuring colorful carols from around the world including those of France and Quebec. With beautiful lyrical melodies such as “Cantique de Noël,” familiar to Anglophones as “O Holy night,” to sparkling folk tunes such as “Il est né le divin enfant” and “Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle” our beloved duo will enchant you with the lively, joyful tunes of your youth.
