[10 |, The South Marysburgh Mirror Celebrating French Canadian Music and Cuisine in the County If you are near Waring Hall at the Waring House Restaurant& Inn on Sunday afternoon, June 8th, expect to hear something rather unusual for the County—the lively sounds of French Canadian music. "We are in full rehearsals in preparation for Les Chansons de Chez Nous, a French concert luncheon, which will not only feature toe-tapping, hand-clapping music but savoury Acadian and Quebec dishes as well," says event's co-producer and performer, Jeanette “Arsenault. "Tickets are now on sale at the Waring House and they are moving fast already—and we are just putting up our posters now!", she says with a laugh. Joining Arsenault on vocals is her new business partner, Micheline Lortie as well as Monique Michaud. They will be accompanied by two of Canada's finest musi- cians, Zeke Mazurek and Tom Leighton. "We will sing songs that we grew up with," explains Arsenault. "And, we will also include well-loved songs such as La Vie en Rose and Une Colombe, and songs by Mireille Matthieu, Jean- Pierre Ferland, Angele Arsenault, to name a few." "Jeanette and I call our new venture, Les Produc- tions Mija, which is a combination of Micheline and my partner's initials JA," according to Lortie. "Our mission is to present bilingual and French shows so that everyone, French- or English-speaking, can enjoy our wonderful French Canadian culture right here in the County," she en- thuses. Les Productions Mija is pleased to announce that the Scott Wentworth Landscape Group has joined in as a Signature Sponsor. "We are thrilled that Scott Wentworth and his dynamic group are throwing their support behind our project,” says Arsenault.
