Description

Élisabeth Moquin discovered violin and Québécois jig during her childhood in Saint-Majorique-de-Grantham. Her love for Québécois traditional art led her to the Trad Music program at CÉGEP de Joliette, which transformed her musically and personally. Following her studies, Élisabeth cofounded the band É.T.É in 2015, with whom she has travelled the world and recorded three award-winning albums. She has nurtured a unique compositional voice in the world of trad.  

A primarily self-taught jig dancer, Élisabeth has performed with the renowned troupe Tissés serrés. Equally passionate for dance and music, her artistic practice leads her to showcase both talents in her ensembles, including her new project SAMEDI. A passionate advocate for trad culture, Élisabethcontinues to travel throughout Québec, researching repertoire and dance steps to push her art forward.
