Born into a musical family in Paris, Lili Boulanger (1893-1918) was described as a child prodigy by Gabriel Fauré when he noticed she had perfect pitch at only two years old. Despite her fragile health after contracting bronchial pneumonia at a young age, she pursued private music education and created a significant body of vocal and instrumental works. In 1913, Lili became the first woman to win the Prix de Rome with her cantata “Faust et Hélène”. After Lili’s untimely death at 24, her sister Nadia established a composition prize in Lili’s honour, ensuring her sister’s legacy endured as one of history’s greatest female composers.
