Winner of Quebec’s prestigious OPUS Prize for Album of the Year – Traditional Québécois Music, Traverse is a musical journey into the heart of traditional fiddle music that resonates with nuance and vitality. “Gorgeous, refreshing” raves The Guardian, while Songlines calls the band’s music “mature, dignified and rewarding.” With champion fiddler Laura Risk, Nicholas Williams of Genticorum on accordion and flute, and Rachel Aucoin on piano, Traverse draws from deep immersion into traditional musical communities, from Montreal to the Gaspé via Scotland. Together, the trio plays with knife’s-edge precision and a rare intuitive connection that draws listeners into a riveting musical experience.
