Artist
L’ensemble Cercamon was formed in 2002 by Pierre-Alexandre Saint-Yves (Voice, Flutes, Citole, Hurdy Gurdy, Rauschpfeife, Chalumeau) and joined by Andrew Wells-Oberegger (Bouzouki, Oud, Laouto, Saz, Percussions, Gaïta, Voice) and Jean-Simon Blanchet (Percussions, Tambourin à cordes, Voice). Drawn from the influences of jazz percussion, medieval french troubadours, renaissance compositions, and a variety of instruments from all over the world, L’ensamble Cercamon create a truly unique sound. With a mixture of original and traditional compositions, the group becomes their own genre. Although small in size, they lack nothing in quality. Already they have produced three albums, and are gaining recognition in the renaissance festival world. Based out of french speaking Canada, they also tour America for venues such as the Vermont Renaissance Festival and the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Their stage presence is captivating and at times comic as the musicians play off of one another. Whatever your taste, the music of L’ensemble Cercamon will tempt you to move with the grace of a belly dancer, the charm of a celtic jig, or the movement of personal reflection.
