Two universes, one shared sensibility For this special evening celebrating creative expression through a feminine lens, let yourself be carried away by the melancholic pop of Etianne and the captivating indie-folk of Élise Boulanger. With powerful messages and a refined aesthetic, these two artists will offer a musical experience that is tender, bold, and deeply human. Etianne Etianne is a French singer-songwriter. After studying violin at the Levallois-Perret Conservatory, she began writing lyrics and gradually setting them to music. Blending classical influences and electronic ambience, she fashions a pop universe tinged with melancholy. Exploring the nuances of love, she also tackles more sensitive themes such as addiction, abortion and depression. After an eclectic self-produced debut album in 2022, she moved to La Réunion, then to Canada, where in 2025 she released a new EP entitled “II”. Élise Boulanger Élise Boulanger is a gentle darkness wrapped in orchestral instrumentation. Hailing from Canada’s west coast, this indie-folk artist captivates audiences with her haunting, avalanche-like vocals. Boulanger is a bilingual environmentalist who creates cinematic soundscapes. Described by the Times Colonist as an artist “truly worth following” and a “captivating performer whose sonic amalgam evokes equal parts chamber music and indie folk”, she draws her inspiration from nature and is sonically reminiscent of Kate Bush.
