THE BACK STORY:
Soir de Semaine has been rockin' the Yukon and surrounding areas since 2003. With three school teachers in the group, this band of "children at heart" provide education through music, as they've developed outreach programs for students in order to perform in schools, and bring their energy to everyone from elementary to high school. Just as comfortable on the festival stage as in a school gym, Soir de Semaine believes interaction is key to any performance, and they engage their audiences to participate in the show, bringing the joys of music and performance and creating an atmosphere of fun around them.

Des voyageurs se sont rencontrés au Yukon et ont crée le groupe Soir de Semaine. De jour, ils travaillent dans les écoles primaires, de soir, ils enregistrent leurs créations musicales. C'est à l'été 2004 qu'ils ont joué dans les festivals yukonnais pour la première fois. Depuis, Soir de Semaine a développé des ateliers pour les écoles et des spectacles pour enfants. Mélangé aux heures tardives, le spectacle crée l'atmosphère de fête de Soir de Semaine, une ambiance du Nord bien à eux
