Summary

'Les Six' were Francis Poulenc, Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, and Germaine Tailleferre, all respected in music circles, but under the aegis of Cocteau, they found themselves moving among a whole new milieu. The likes of Picasso, Rene Clair. Blaise Cendrars, and Maurice Chevalier all appear in the story along with key figures of the Dada and Surrealist movements. But the story of Les Six goes on long after the heyday of Bohemian Paris: the group never officially disbanded and their spouses, descendents and associates are still active, ensuring that the remarkable legacy of this unique group survives.
