  • Creator to Creators S6 EP 102 Therese Rawson Casadesus.
    Jan 29 2025
    About Gaby Casadesus Born Gabrielle l'Hôte, she studied at the Paris Conservatory with Louis Diémer and Marguerite Long and was awarded the first prize in piano at age 16. She met Claude Debussy at this time, as he was the judge for one of her competitions. Gaby later won the Prix Pagès, which was the most prestigious award in France at the time for which women were eligible. In 1921, she married the pianist Robert Casadesus and with him formed the Robert and Gaby Casadesus duo. The duo made many recordings of the four-hand piano repertoire. However, Gaby was also a significant soloist. She knew Maurice Ravel, Gabriel Fauré, Florent Schmitt and Moritz Moszkowski, and her interpretations were aided by their guidance. Her repertoire also included Felix Mendelssohn, whose music she effectively championed, and the keyboard composers of the Baroque era. As a teacher, Gaby Casadesus taught in the US, at the Salzburg Mozarteum, at the Académie Maurice Ravel in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and most notably at the American Conservatoire at Fontainebleau. Among her notable pupils are Donna Amato, David Deveau, Rudy Toth, and Vladimir Valjarević. After her husband's death in 1972, she worked with Grant Johannesen and Odette Valabrègue Wurtzburger, to found the Robert Casadesus International Piano Competition which ran from 1975 to 1993. Casadesus died November 12, 1999, at age 98 in Paris. She is buried with her husband and son, Jean in Recloses, department of Seine-et-Marne. About Therese

    Casadesus Rawson Daughter of the late French pianists Robert and Gaby Casadesus, Therese Casadesus Rawson received a Ph.D. in French language and literature from the University of Pennsylvania in 1977. She has taught French, Humanities, French Diction and French vocal repertoire to singers at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia for nearly 30 years. Besides teaching and performing—she is a soprano focusing on Bach and French repertoire--Therese Casadesus Rawson is also active as a lecturer in a variety of topics pertaining to French culture, music, literature, painting, culinary arts. She has been and continues to be involved with French or Franco-American cultural institutions. She was President of the Alliance Française de Philadelphie for nearly 10 years, and has been President of the Fontainebleau Associations for 25 years: the stateside support group which helps organize and finance the summer Music and Fine Arts program at the Château de Fontainebleau. Therese’s involvement with the Fontainebleau Schools is steeped in the legacy of her famous parents, Robert and Gaby, and her brother Jean, who were themselves devoted to the Fontainebleau Schools, teaching extensively at the Conservatoire Américain (the music side of the program). Remarkably, Robert and Gaby succeeded in running the program in New England during World War II and Gaby continued to teach until her passing in 1999 at the age of 98. The French Government awarded Therese the Palmes Académiques in recognition of her teaching activities, and, in 2001, she was named to the rank of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres on account of her efforts on behalf of Franco-American cultural affairs.

    Bio

    Toni M. Mir is a music composer nominated for a Goya in 2020. His pieces include soundtracks for movies, documentaries, commercials and television series.

    Due to his many creative accomplishments, he is now a celebrated member of the European Film Academy, the Spanish Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences, and the Catalan Film Academy.

    His passion for music was revealed in his early childhood, when he started playing and discovering harmony through an old piano in the family house. This playful way of learning has defined his very own style, striving to create a singular language, leaving academic standards behind.

    Composing, for him, is a way to translate stories into feelings, and to infuse fictional universes with a touch of color and emotion that can only be achieved through music.

    Toni is the soul and founder of Trafalgar 13 Music House(2004), an independent music lab situated in the heart of Barcelona, Spain -now with a branch office in Los Angeles-, home to numerous original soundtracks for award-winning films along with commercial melodies for prestigious brands.
