Biography
Yevgeny Yevets was a Russian composer whose work bridged the musical traditions of his homeland and his adopted French residence. Born in 1905, he contributed to the rich cultural legacy of the Russian émigré community in France during the twentieth century.
Yevets spent his later years in France, where he remained active in musical circles until his death in 1990. He was laid to rest in the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery, a final resting place for many notable members of the Russian diaspora.
