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.
