La Rencontre aka “The Gathering” Diverse cultures, performing arts, and languages come together at the Franco Center during La Rencontre. In Franco culture, big celebratory meals included live music provided by members of the family and their neighbors. Many families made sure their kids each learned to play an instrument in order to entertain at such gatherings — and so, accordingly, the Franco Center invites local musicians and entertainers to provide live music for its guests.
