Philippe Gélinas founded l’Atelier du Conte en Musique et en Images Inc. to raise awareness of how medieval music has shaped Quebec’s culture. History comes alive through concerts and workshops in communities across Canada, as audiences see, hear and sometimes play the cittern, dulcimer, hurdy gurdy, crumhorn, sackbut and lute. These are just a few of the more than 30 replicas of traditional instruments that the group features through its distinctive storytelling.
