Georges Boulanger (violinist)

Georges Boulanger was born in Tulcea, Romania, from a Romani (Gypsy) family with a very long tradition in music. Other students of Auer included Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, and Mischa Elman. In 1910, when Boulanger was 17 years old, Leopold Auer considered his pupil's musical education complete. Auer gave him a violin as a going away present. In the year 1926, after his first radio recording as a soloist, his name suddenly became well known. == Compositions ==
