Biografia

Darius Milhaud foi um proeminente compositor e professor francês nascido em Marselha no dia 4 de setembro de 1892. Sua trajetória artística ganhou um forte contorno brasileiro quando viveu no Rio de Janeiro entre 1917 e 1919, atuando como adido da Embaixada da França durante o período em que o poeta Paul Claudel era embaixador no país. Essa vivência marcou profundamente sua obra, refletindo-se em criações célebres como a suíte de dança Saudades do Brasil e a peça Scaramouche.

De volta à Europa, integrou o influente Grupo dos Seis e destacou-se por conciliar a politonalidade com elementos do jazz e da música popular. Ao longo de sua carreira prolífica, sua produção dialogou com a de importantes nomes da música moderna, incluindo o compositor brasileiro Heitor Villa-Lobos, com quem compartilhou a facilidade e a rapidez na composição.

Devido à Segunda Guerra Mundial, Milhaud mudou-se para os Estados Unidos em 1940, onde lecionou no Mills College, na Califórnia. Mais tarde, alternou suas atividades de docência entre os Estados Unidos e o Conservatório de Paris até se aposentar por motivos de saúde. O artista faleceu em Genebra, na Suíça, no dia 22 de junho de 1974, deixando um vasto legado que abrange balés, óperas, concertos e obras de câmara.
