Radio-Canada interviews young composer Antoine Villéger

The Butterfly and The Bee, suite...

The May 10 Vancouver Chamber Choir concert was recorded by Radio-Canada in Vancouver.

After Antoine's piece "The Butterfly and the Bee" then garnered two prizes, we received an invitation to have him appear in the May 28 edition of  Boulevard du Pacifique, the marquee weekday afternoon radio show presented by Jacques Dufresne.

Here you can listen to the interview (in French!)

Two of Antoine's pieces were broadcast during the segment, "Song without Words" with the Lions Gate Sinfonia conducted by Maestro Clyde Mitchell and "Le Nuage" from Svetlana Ponomarëva's latest CD
