So I'm talking today with Samuel Andreyev, who's a composer, a Canadian composer, who's

currently residing in Strasbourg, where he's working as a composer, and we're going to talk

today about music.

So, but I think we'll start off by having Sam talk a little bit about his career and

position himself so that we can move into the conversation and provide a bit of context

for everybody who's watching and listening.

So take it away.

Well, I'm a composer.

I'm from Canada originally, and I lived there until I was 22, and I decided actually

fairly early on that I wanted to live in France.

And so I moved to Paris, where I studied for quite a number of years at the Paris Conservatory.

I remained there for 12 years, and moved to Strasbourg two and a half years ago, and I've

been here ever since.

So I'm mainly a composer, but I do a lot of other things as well.

I'm also a poet, I'm also a teacher, I'm also a performer.

So tell me a little bit about your experiences in North America first as a composer.
