Joseph Boulogne Chevalier de Saint-Georges
About Joseph Boulogne Chevalier de Saint-Georges
Born in Guadeloupe to a black enslaved mother and white French father, then raised in France, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745–99) came to be regarded not just as the finest fencer and swordsman in Europe, but also peerless as a boxer, marksman, ice-skater, huntsman, swimmer and dancer. He was a gendarme du roi for Louis XV, immersed in the heady world of the Palais Royal, seedbed of the Revolution, a prominent abolitionist and commander of the first black regiment in Europe. Amidst all this, Saint-Georges was also at the forefront of French musical life as a leading composer, violinist and conductor, writing works that are the epitome of French style galant. Long side-lined, recent years have seen Saint-Georges’ surviving music finally establishing a place in the repertoire, though much remains little known.
