Roland Charmy
1908–1987 (age 79)
Biography
Violinist Roland Charmy graced Paris with a luminous tone, performing chamber recitals that balanced the elegance of the classical repertoire with the daring of contemporary composers, and he carried that gentle artistry to other European capitals.
He also nurtured younger players through private instruction, ensuring the bowings and phrasing he cherished would echo beyond his own concerts, and his quiet presence now rests at Saint-Ouen Cemetery.
