FranceHe gave the world dancing skeletons and a carnival of animals, wrote an organ symphony that still shakes concert halls, and was playing Beethoven from memory before most children learn to read.

About
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns made his concert debut at ten, studied at the Paris Conservatoire, and settled into twenty years as organist at La Madeleine, the official church of the French Empire. He left in 1877 — the year his opera Samson and Delilah premiered — and spent the rest of his life as a freelance pianist and composer touring Europe and the Americas. His catalog from the 1860s through 1886 includes the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, the Second Piano Concerto, the First Cello Concerto, Danse macabre, the Third Violin Concerto, the Third Symphony, and The Carnival of the Animals.…
