Francois-Auguste Gevaert was a Belgian  composer. His father was a baker and he was intended
for the same profession, but better counsels prevailed and he was permitted to study music. Though
during his lifetime his own music enjoyed considerable successes in Belgium, including two operas -
Quentin Durward
and
Le Capitaine Henriot
- he was happier as a teacher, historian, and lecturer.
His notable students included Alfred Wotquenne.
Born: 1828, Huysse, near Oudenaarde, Belgium; died: 1908, Brussels, Belgium.
