Hello, hi I'm Kelly Harlock and I'm Sasha Kelly and you're listening to

another episode of that classical podcast indeed so welcome everybody, welcome back. Today we are going to go, we're heading to France today for a delicious quas-saint, some lovely cheese and some absolutely stunning music.

Tribian, truly, Tribune.

So Sasha, I think you're going to start us off today and who are we going to talk about?

I'm going to talk about Massinee, Jules Masinee.

I actually know absolutely nothing about Masinee,

so this is going to be absolutely great.

That's the best kind of episode.

I know, I totally agree. Just learning together guys learning together. Okay are you ready for

60 second biography? You know what I think so. Let's do it. Okay go.

Jules Masine was born on the 12th of May, 1842 at Monte and Loire.

His dad was a metal worker and his mom was a talented amateur musician who gave little Jules whose first piano

lessons. The family moved to Paris and Masine started studying at the Paris Conservatoire under another successful

composer and Bois Thomas. There were a few years of family problems. He stopped studying for a while but he came

back and he won the top piano prize. They no longer had a little money, said

Jules picked up some percussion instruments got a casual job in the

theatre orchestra most people said for him to get an organ job in a church

monaster was like nah he tried working as a piano accompaniment and that's how he met

Berleaus and Wagner who became his musical heroes. Doobiest choices in my opinion.

He won the pre to Rome, that thing again,

and went to Rome to hang out.

And he then came back to Paris.
