Life and career

André Wormser was born in Paris and studied with Antoine Marmontel and François Bazin at the Paris Conservatoire.[1] As a very wealthy man, Wormser was able to afford a membership in the social club Cercle artistique et littéraire.[2]

In 1872 Wormser won the Premier Prix in piano at the Paris Conservatoire,[3] and in 1875 he won the Prix de Rome for his cantata Clytemnestre. He is best known for the pantomime L'Enfant prodigue (1890),[4] which was revived at the Booth Theater in New York in 1916 as the three-act play Perroit the Prodigal.[5] He died in Paris.

Notable students include Charles Malherbe.
