A Post Oscars Song Circle!
On Sunday evening's Academy Awards event, our very own Camille and her husband Clément Ducol won the Oscar for their original song, for the film Emilia Perez!
On Monday, March 3, Camille led a song circle at the Church in Ocean Park. Louise Dobbs and Dr. Kim Harris gathered about 15 church community members to sing with some of Camille and Clement's friends. It was a stunning hour of layered, harmonious and profoundly musical improvisation.
Merci beaucoup, Camille et Clément!
The conversation between Dr. Kim Harris and Bob Gordh on Sunday morning , February 2, took its point of departure from an essay by Bob Gordh wrote, which you can read here:
