Nombre trois


The Paris  Conservatory is where I began to put my focus on playing the harp. I got a scholarship off of My opera "Trojan". Trojan was dedicated to Napolean. He liked it so well, he gave me the scholarship. The Paris Conservatory was founded in 1795 and still stands today. Its a college of music and dance and as you can see I went there for music, specifically for the harp.

Numero deux


Montmedy, France is being shown above.The citadel is located in Lorraine in North-Eastern France. It's  also the citadel that I was born in. During my lifetime , I didn't stay here. King louis XVI was supposeed to live there but his family never made it. Today the citadel is still used as a place to live even though some of the buildings aren't in the best of shape.

Numero un



This is me, Robert Nicolas Bochsa. I was born on August 9, 1789 and I died on January 6, 1856. I was a harpist who was born in Montmedy, France. I also played several instruments and created several operas.I even got into trouble with the law during my  lifetime.
