AURORE VOILQUÉ QUARTET

FRIDAY, SEPT. 20th | 7:30 PM

Aurore Voilqué, a violin prodigy since age 4, has journeyed from classical orchestras to the Paris metro, forming the Aurore Quartet in 2003. Her evolution into gypsy jazz led to collaborations with Thomas Dutronc and performances at major French jazz festivals and clubs. Notable achievements include playing at New York’s Birdland, recording the tribute album “Djangolized” with Rhoda Scott, and participating in international music projects. Her work spans from electro-jazz fusion to artistic partnerships, like with Angelo Debarre for the “Bohemian Waltz” album. Aurore’s influence extends to jazz programming and teaching, with performances across Europe and tributes to the late Belle Du Berry. Her passion for music continues to resonate on stages worldwide.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
