Les Six, a group of six avant-garde French composers active in the early 20th century, emerged amid Paris’s dynamic intellectual and cultural scene. They embraced neoclassicism, impressionism, and modern art movements, influencing music with their innovative use of polytonality, dissonant harmonies, and rhythmic experimentation. Their notable works, such as Ravel’s “Boléro” and Poulenc’s “Les Biches,” showcase their distinct styles and left an enduring legacy in 20th-century music.
