Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745 - 1799 ) was a champion fencer, classical composer, virtuoso violinist, and conductor of the leading symphony orchestra in Paris. Born in the French colony of Guadalupe he was the son of a wealthy married planter and his wife's African slave. His father took him to France when he was young and he was educated there.  Georges was the first known classical composer who was of African ancestry.
