A conversation with Nina de Félice, pianist. Nina is French and Mauritian and also lived in Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. In addition to her performing career, she is the co-founder of the Festival Contrepoints Croisés in France, and of An Artist’s Blog, a new platform which gathers writing and thoughts about music. She also holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics. We talk about how to reconcile basic assumptions that are often divergent, and about the ways in which culture shapes our concept of “society.” Nina talks about the current situation in Mauritius, the ecological loss the island has suffered, and the different ways in which her families view the past and celebrate tradition.
