Pierre-Eugène Damaré was a french composer, flutist, piccoloist, ( Bayonne, 3 or 5 December 1840 - Paris, 15 August 1919), whose career extended into the twentieth century.
Eugène Damaré was born , to musician Joseph Barbe Damaré ( 1803 - 1850) and Adele Olympe Hauvet (d. 1848).
He was a prolific composer, he produced more than four hundred works, many for piccolo or flute and orchestra/piano, the exception being works for the stage – operas and vaudeville-comedies, his works are still recorded today, and his prolific pen produced more than four hundred works (the highest opus number that probably exists is his Pizzicato, op. 426, for piccolo or flute and orchestra, published after his death, in 1923).
His long career took him from popular
open-air concerts in Paris, through tours of the Americas and Europe to a late and important stay in
Oran,
Algeria.
