Lisette's Journey programs can be tailored for concerts and festivals, museums, parks, indoor or outdoor events, K-12 education, artist's residencies, or professional development and training workshops. Please contact Lynn Noel to discuss the right mix of song/story, audio/visual, and acoustic/digital material for your audience.
Participatory fur trade music is rich in the rhythms of paddling songs, the infectious joie de vivre of campfire dance tunes, and the haunting laments for lost love. The audience becomes a voyageur brigade retracing Daniel Harmon's 1800 journey to the western rendezvous from Lake Superior to Fraser Lake in the Rockies, and reliving Lisette's stark choices and her reasons for voyaging to Vermont in 1816.
The rivers of the voyageur know no boundaries, and Lisette's journeys cross the boundary waters again and again as her parentage, marriage, and family crossed boundaries of language, race and politics. Her songs and tales become paddles for the mind's canoe.
