CAYRON-MARTINEAU, Jeanne

Jeanne Cayron-Martineau was a French organist and composer active in Angers during the early twentieth century. She regularly performed on the grand organ of Angers Cathedral, interpreting works by Bach and other composers as well as presenting her own improvisations. Her documented compositions include an Entrée for organ, performed by Cayron-Martineau during a wedding ceremony at the cathedral and praised at the time for its striking effect. Although contemporary accounts describe her as an accomplished organist, little biographical information and few of her compositions have survived
