Ginette Neveu (11 August 1919 – 28 October 1949) was a famous French classical violinist who was killed in a plane crash at the age of 30. Childhood Ginette Neveu was born in Paris into a musical family: Her brother Jean-Paul Neveu became a classical pianist, and the composer and organist Charles-Marie Widor was their great-uncle. A child prodigy, Ginette Neveu took violin lessons from her mother and made her solo debut at the age of seven with the Concerts Colonne in Paris. Her parents then decided to send her to study under Line Talluel, and after further studies with Jules Boucherit at the Conservatoire de Paris, she completed her training with instruction from George Enescu, Nadia Boulanger, and Carl Flesch.
