Chris Paul Harman - Featured Composer

Chris Paul Harman, one of the featured composers on Esprit's 32nd season opener, Polaris, at Koerner Hall, with Alex for a post-concert coffee a day after the concert. There was a lot of catching up to do as Chris has been on the composition faculty of McGill University's Music Department for a number of years and his visits to Toronto are all too infrequent.  

Prior to his move to Montreal, Chris had been a regular to Esprit concerts since he was a high school student. In the early days, we initiated coffee chats for the public in the home of Barbara and Harry Somers prior to each concert. These were essential in establishing our audience. A seventeen year old Chris Paul Harman was a regular at these events!
