Full biography Jean-Michel Damase
Jean-Michel Damase was a French composer who lived between 1928 and 2013. Born into a musical family, he started playing the piano at an early age and went on to study composition with the great Nadia Boulanger.
Damase won the Rome Prize, which allowed him to travel to Italy and spend time studying music there. He went on to write extensively for the piano, as well as for chamber ensembles and symphony orchestras. His music is known for its clarity, elegance, and lyricism, and is often associated with the French tradition of the 20th century.
Despite his renown as a composer, Damase was also a talented pianist, and often performed his own works in public. He is remembered as a musician who was dedicated to the art of composition, and who helped to shape the classical music of his time.
Today, Jean-Michel Damase's music continues to be celebrated by musicians and music lovers around the world. His legacy as a composer and performer has left an indelible mark on the world of classical music, and his influence can still be felt today.
