Accordion, violin, guitar, bass, mandolin, drums, percussion, feet and voice come together in energetic fashion in the French Canadian ensemble Mauvais Sort. The group combines talent, accessibility, and enthusiasm with a love for music, specifically traditional music, to capture the hearts of its audience. Using bygone tunes and lyrics, anecdotes of its own making, contemporary melodies, and legends or stories of yesteryear all of which combine into a blissful mixture of rhythms from around the globe. The group's members have played some 400 performances on stages in Québec, Canada, Europe, and Oceania. Mauvais Sort was officially launched following a victory at the CONGA competition in 2000 and the ensemble subsequently earned an ADISQ award for traditional album of the year in 2003.

This concert is presented as part of Arts Midwest's Worldfest. Ticket information and costs will be posted when information becomes available.
