Born in the French colony of Guadeloupe, he was the son of a wealthy plantation owner and his slave, and grew up to be a well-known and respected musician in Europe for most of his life.

Hosted by Terrance McKnight, the program will include a conversation with Marlon Daniel, Artistic and Music Director of the Saint-Georges International Music Festival; Lady Jess, violinist and Co-Artistic Director of the Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra; and Bill Barclay, the Artistic Director of Concert Theatre Works and former Director of Music at Shakespeare’s Globe, who will discuss the life and music of this remarkable composer.
