Traditional music that causes a wonderful stir and fills to overflowing every
venue – that is Cécilia! Widely recognized as three of Canada’s finest
musicians, it is a pleasure to see how much enjoyment Timi Turmel, Erin Leahy,
and Louis Schryer find in playing together. While honouring their heritage as
Cécilia, their music making has an undeniably fresh and high-spirited sound.
They bring the best of many musical worlds together in their explorations of
traditional, Celtic and Quebecois music. Every one of their pieces is
skillfully arranged and highlighted with influences from contemporary,
classical, jazz and swing styles. Cécilia’s recent debut album Accent is an
impressive offering full of vibrant rhythms and melodies, all resonating with
a unique warmth and richness of expression.
Each performance by Cécilia is a call to come out and share – not only in
the joy of three dedicated musicians making music together but also in
creating with Timi, Erin, and Louis a unique and memorable musical experience.
You’ll find yourself with a smile that lasts long after the final notes of
Cécilia’s accordion, piano, and violin have melted away.
