Our midsummer celebration takes us from the British Isles to northern Europe—and from France to New France, featuring music that migrated across the Atlantic and remain part of the Québecois folk tradition today.

MacDonald? A Tangled Garden, and this talk will delve into the science and art of authentication within the context of their research.
