About
Jacques François Antoine Ibert was born in Paris, France. He was a French composer. Having studied music from an early age, he studied at the Paris Conservatoire and won its top prize, the Prix de Rome at his first attempt, despite studies interrupted by his service in World War I. He pursued a successful composing career, writing seven operas, five ballets, incidental music for plays and films, songs, choral works, and chamber music. He is probably best remembered for his orchestral works including Divertissement and Escales. In tandem with his creative work, he was the director of the Académie de France at the Villa Medici in Rome.
