Les Six-The Composers

Summary Les Six-The Composers. This program explores a group of disparate musical composers who were dubbed "Les Six" by the critic Henri Collet.

They were influenced by Jean Cocteau and composed everything from ballets to concertos using elements from Jazz and Brazilian music. The composers included Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honneger, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc and Germaine Tailleferre.
