The due will perform songs from North America and beyond, in both English and French. Therrien accompanies her songs on the guitar, the spoons, and drum, while weaving cultural and historical anecdotes between her selections.

Ms. Therrien, a native of Newport, Vermont, was educated in French schools in the Province of Quebec, and holds a B.A. degree in Piano Performance and a M.A. in Music History.

She has toured in five continents, appearing in a variety of foreign consulates, Parliament agencies, on PBS-TV and Radio, the "Good Day! Show" in Boston, and on CBC-TV/Radio-Canada. In conjunction with Quebec's 400th anniversary in 2008, Lucie published a book/CD set titled "Dual Citizen-Deux Citoyennetés," subtitled "Memoir Glimpses -- Traditions French-Canadian". The colleciton includes 17 songs and poems presented on an included CD.
