The mission of Les Violons en Fête being to “promote traditional music in all forms in the Outaouais, while financially helping charitable organizations within the region’’ well describes the whole of its work, as well as the type of music it favours. Its repertoire is primarily made up of folk music, largely inspired from traditional Canadian, Quebecer, but also from elsewhere, such as Scottish, Irish and others. Interestingly, quite a few members of Les Violons en Fête have themselves composed some pieces that are amongst its current repertoire.
