The symphony orchestra
Krisyan DAHOMAY
In 2008, he studied masters-class conducting with René Castelain (Head of the Harmony Orchestra of Chartres, head of the Air Music of Paris in 1986), and Marc LEFEBVRE (Director of the Conservatoire of Music and Dramatic Art of Aix-les-Bains, conductor of Harmony Orchestra of the same city.)
In 2009, with Solange WISARD, he set up the "CLASSI-KA" orchestra, which allows young musicians to perform classical works as well as works by us (biguine, gwoka ...)
In 2014, with other musicians and lovers of music, he plays "GWADLOUP-SENFONI" who plays works inspired by gwoka; of his scales and his harmonies.
An orchestra composed of Guadeloupian musicians and Caribbean musicians (Cuba, Haiti, Dominica ...) and also Guadeloupian musicians living in Europe.
In the orchestra, they added home instruments, Ka, steel-pan, and other percussions.
They have already given 4 great concerts, from 2015 to 2018.
They set up a reduced version
with the musicians living in Guadeloupe.
This allows them to turn more
easily.
In the orchestra, Krisyan ensures the
direction.
He is also a composer and arranger.

During an exchange between Gwadloup-Senfoni and the I.S.A. (Instituto Superior de Arte) in Havana, he directs the orchestra of the conservatory enriched with musicians from Gwadloup-Senfoni, during the concert given at the "El Sauce" hall.
Here are some pictures of his last conducting seminar, in the Lyon in France, in July 2021.
On the first one, the conductor Phiippe FOURNIER gives him some advice on his baton. These are the trainees who made up the orchestra where he integrated the flute section. The training lasted 10 very intense days, in residence, from 8Am to 10h30 Pm.
But it was very enriching.
