Odette Gartenlaub
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odette Gartenlaub (13 March 1922 – 20 September 2014)[1] was a French pianist, music teacher and composer.
Odette Gartenlaub studied music at the Paris Conservatory with Olivier Messiaen, Henri Busser, Noël Gallon and Darius Milhaud,[2] and won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1948.[3] She became well known as a soloist, performing with orchestras internationally. The daughter of Jewish parents, she was forced to abandon her studies at the Paris Conservatoire in September 1941 when the Conservatoire enforced statutes banning the attendance of Jews at the institution in the era of Nazi-occupied Paris.[4] In 1959 she took a position as a professor at the Paris Conservatory.[5]
On September 20, 2014, she died at Hôpital Cochin in Paris, at the age of 92.[1]
