In our new Caramoor Conversations series, pianist Lara Downes (whose Caramoor concert is on June 30th) interviews musicians who are performing at Caramoor this summer. In this episode, Lara interviews mezzo-soprano J'Nai Bridges, who will be performing a solo Caramoor recital on July 7th. In this short interview, J'Nai and Lara talk in depth about the pieces that J'Nai has chosen for her recital, and why it was important to include living composers with those who have passed.
