The extraordinary story of African American composer Edmond Dede,
raised in antebellum New Orleans, and his remarkable career in
France In 1855, Edmond Dede, a free black composer from New
Orleans, emigrated to Paris. There he trained with France's best
classical musicians and went on to spend thirty-six years in
Bordeaux leading the city's most popular orchestras. How did this
African American, raised in the biggest slave market in the United
States, come to compose ballets for one of the best theaters
outside of Paris and gain recognition as one of Bordeaux's most
popular orchestra leaders? Beginning with his birth in antebellum
New Orleans in 1827 and ending with his death in Paris in 1901,
Sally McKee vividly recounts the life of this extraordinary man.
From the Crescent City to the City of Light and on to the raucous
music halls of Bordeaux, this intimate narrative history brings to
life the lost world of exiles and travelers in a rapidly
modernizing world that threatened to leave the most vulnerable
behind.
