Imagine a musical journey that spans centuries and crosses the Atlantic from France to Quebec, then follows the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes to the Wabash valley, and down the Mississippi to Louisiana. Now imagine that you took a musical snapshot at points along your journey, and that’s what we heard when the New Harmony Music Festival and School presented “From the French Court to the Cajun Kitchen. Christopher Layer, ToniMarie Marchioni, and Matthew O’Neill shared the stage with Michael Lewis and Denise Wilson of Traveler’s Dream and Paul Gregoire’s Cajun accordion accompanied by Wade Bernard, and Roger Barhart.
