Nadia Boulanger Nadia Boulanger (1887 – 1979) was a French composer, conductor, and teacher. She taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century, and also performed occasionally as a pianist and organist. From a musical family, she achieved early honours as a student at the Conservatoire de Paris, but, believing that she had no particular talent as a composer, she gave up writing music and became a teacher. In that capacity, she influenced generations of young composers, especially those from the United States and other English-speaking countries. Among her students were those who became leading composers, soloists, arrangers, and conductors, including Eliot Carter, Aaron Copland, Philip Glass and Astor Piazzolla. Boulanger taught in the US and England, working with music, but her principal base for most of her life was her family's flat in Paris, where she taught for most of the seven decades from the start of her career until her death at the age of 92. Boulanger was the first woman to conduct many major orchestras in America and EuropeShe conducted several world premieres, including works by Copland and Stravinsky. Hold this city all night (texts by Alice Goodman) I. To Peter, who is painting a map of the world The day turns as it did from five o’clock Sunday when light built angles on your wall corn blades clicked on the fire escape wind bent all Boston’s roses To seven in June, the hour that is so much ike you. Air cuts through buildings and thickens. The grass’s bristling shadow Is stronger than the body of a man.

You can read more about progress to date on the Presidency policy programme on www.eu2013.ie Europe Week (5th to 12th May 2013), though, is not just about business.
