Dennis Stroughmatt et l'Esprit Creole to Perform April 12 at Alumni Center
Fingers and bow flying, Dennis Stroughmatt takes listeners on a musical odyssey.

Their songs, stories, and language remain largely intact and true to the traditions that have been passed down for generations. L'Esprit Creole's music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun styles. Date / April 12, 2024 Time / 7:30 - 9 p.m. Location / Kem Hall @Wehking Alumni Center (926 Broadway St)
