French composer and cellist (b. 3 March 1857 {{NS}} in [[Paris]]; d. 15 June 1934 in [[Paris]]), born '''''Louis-Charles-Bonaventure-Alfred Bruneau.
Russian military officer, lawyer and archaeologist (b. 1851; d. 1935), born '''''Vladimir Petrovich Pogozhev''''' (Владимир Петрович Погожев).


At the [[Paris]] Conservatory (1876–1881), Bruneau studied the cello under Franchomme (for which he earned a first prize), and then composition with [[Jules Massenet]]. After joining Josef Pasdeloup's orchestra, he began composition in earnest and became the author of several popular operas, some of which were collaborations with his friend Emile Zola as librettist. From 1903 to 1904, he was musical director of the Opéra-Comique, and the following year was appointed to the governing body of the [[Paris]] Conservatory, becoming inspector-general of music education in 1909, and a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1925. He also wrote memoirs of Zola, [[Massenet]], and essays on the theory of opera.
After serving as an officer in the Semyonovsky Regiment, he became an official of the board of the Imperial Theatres in 1882. The following year, he was promoted to manager of the office of the Imperial Theatres in [[Saint Petersburg]], where he remained until 1908. He was an admirer of Tchaikovsky's work, and helped to promote the staging of the composer's operas and ballets in the Russian capital.


It was in Bruneau's capacity as President of the newly-formed International Union of Composers (''L'Union Internationale des Compositeurs de Musique'') that he corresponded with Tchaikovsky in 1883 and 1884.
