Cécile Chaminade
Cécile Chaminade, born in Paris in 1857, was a trailblazing French composer and pianist whose music captivated audiences worldwide. Debuting as a solo pianist at the age of 18, Chaminade embarked on extensive tours across France and England, often performing her own compositions. Her prolific career spanned over eight decades, during which she composed more than four hundred pieces, ranging from piano and vocal works to orchestral compositions.

Her music was celebrated globally, including being played at Queen Victoria's funeral, yet her legacy remains lesser-known today.
