Dominique Le Gendre at home in London
Dominique Le Gendre with Royal Opera House accompanist Chris Willis
CFR gets classical in episode #38, as I visit with Trinidad-born composer Dominique Le Gendre at her home in London. I chat with Dominique about her early musical influences, about Caribbeanness and the classical tradition, her experiences as a Associate Artist at the Royal Opera House and her chamber opera “Bird of Night”, which is set to debut at the Royal Opera House in October 2006.

Goergia,
This podcast was quite a delight. So many aspects of Dominique Legendre’s life and music embody the essence of the Caribbean. Very cool.
