Qristina & Quinn Bachand have proven to be quintessential to Canada’s contribution to the world stage, garnering a mantle-packing collection of awards and recognition that thrust them to the top of the international Celtic music world, the most recent a nomination at the 2015 Western Canadian Music Awards (Roots Recording of the Year) for their brand new album, "Little Hinges".

With Qristina’s shimmering vocals and inspirational fiddling and Quinn’s old –soul mastery to all things stringed, this brother and sister act clearly hit the mark with the music industry earning accolades and international touring opportunities with the likes of Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster. The duo won 2010 Top Traditional Group and 2011 Top Duo at the Irish Music Awards as well as a combined total of eight nominations at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Born and raised on Canada's West Coast with its signature tolerance for experimentation and improvisation, the siblings have always sought to find their own ‘voice’, exploring all kinds of musical traditions and fusing styles such as Old-time, Irish trad, Folk, and Jazz to create their own distinctive sound – one that is arresting, provocative, stimulating and thoroughly intoxicating.

While home for the holidays, this outstanding duo will be performing one show only, don't miss it!

Advance tickets $15 available at Ivy's Bookshop, Lyle's Place and at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre Reception. $20 at the door

Doors open at 6:00 pm (for dinner service).
