Camille Kerger cannot remember a time when he did not want to be a musician. “My father wanted to be a musician, but in our small village, after WWII, it was not possible for him,” he recalls. Fortunately for Kerger, his village music society had a spare trombone, and the 8-year-old Luxembourger embarked on a rich musical life that has included playing, singing, composing, and teaching.
