«Les Six», composed of Darius Milhaud (1892-1974), Arthur Honegger (1892-1955), Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983), Georges Auric (1899-1983), Louis Du­rey (1888-1979) and Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), was active in Paris during the 1920s. Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was their poet and spokesperson, and the group considered Erik Satie (1866-1925) to be its spiritual master. Meetings assembling various artis­tic circles in the salons of Paris at the time permitted the birth of collaborations between creators, read­ing poems, presenting the latest musical composi­tions or exhibiting paintings. It was in this context and through the frequentation of the salons that the six musicians, then about twenty years old, be­came gradually acquainted with each other.
In 1917, an initial performance was given in which poetic, pictorial and especially musical works of four of the six composers were combined with those of Satie. This was the starting point of the small group whose members would regularly present their ar­tistic productions in the same concert halls. They participated in the booming culture of Paris, mainly because spectators of all social classes rushed to attend their performances. In 1919, the name of «Les Six» was created: Henri Collet, a journalist, proposed to give them this name for promotional purposes by analogy with the Group of Five (assem­bling Russian musicians of the nineteenth century [Mussorgsky, Borodin, Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky-Korsa­kov]). The magazine Le Coq appeared between April and November 1920 under the aegis of the pen of Cocteau and became the organ of dissemination of the fame of the group even if the latter clarified its position: “The Coq is the organ of no school ... Noth­ing is less cliquish ... The door is wide open ...”.
