Through story and song, including a performance of local French “fiddling” on violin and sing-a-longs, audiences will have fun learning how the Illinois French serves as a time capsule for their cousins to the north and south—those in Canada and Louisiana. Dennis Stroughmatt has entertained, educated, and captivated countless diverse audiences throughout Illinois with his live-music presentations on subjects ranging from Illinois French Creole music.
