Riverside Concerts, in conjunction with the RACE: Are We So Different? Exhibit, presents the World Music Series featuring the Québécois ensemble Genticorum.

Genticorum has become one of the most sought-after exponents of Quebecois musical culture, having now performed and toured around the world. Firmly rooted in the soil of their native land, this energetic and original power trio also incorporates the dynamism of contemporary North American and European folk cultures into their music. They weave precise and intricate fiddle and flute work, gorgeous vocal harmonies, energetic foot percussion, and guitar and bass accompaniment into a jubilant musical feast. Genticorum’s distinctive sound, sense of humor, and stage presence make it a supreme crowd pleaser – though never at the expense of the music.

This activity is funded by the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council through the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
