Dean Grant is an artistic identity shaped through the many years of collaboration between Sander Schaap and producer Bernard Arcadio, with whom he explored and refined the essence of the French chanson. Although he no longer creates new music himself, Dean Grant continues to exist as the bearer of a rich tradition: a curator, narrator and guardian of French musical heritage.
In Château Provence, Dean Grant steps forward as host and guide. His background in Avignon, his close connection to the generation of chansonniers who helped shape France, and his profound respect for the craft make him a natural conversation partner for today’s great voices. Not as a presenter, but as a cultural beacon — someone who understands and conveys the stillness, nuance and sincerity of the chanson.
