Jack Dhainaut

Having studied foreign languages and literature at King’s College, Cambridge and the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Jack is currently teaching English and French in a small but lovely village in deepest Catalonia, where he is one of two tenors in the local choir. A double bassist and erstwhile clarinettist, his musical interests range from the symphonies of Shostakovich to the Catalan Nova Canço.
