Joseph Jongen (14 December 1873 – 12 July 1953) was a Belgian organist, composer, and music educator. From his teens to his seventies Jongen composed a great deal, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music and songs. In 1897, he won the Belgian Prix de Rome, which allowed him to travel to Italy, Germany and France. His list of opus numbers eventually reached 241, but he destroyed a good many pieces. His monumental Symphonie Concertante of 1926 is considered by many to be among the greatest works ever written for organ and orchestra, being championed and recorded by numerous eminent organists.

Henri Demarquette (born 1970) is a French classical cellist. Demarquette entered at the age of 13 the Conservatoire de Paris where he studied with Philippe Muller and Maurice Gendron. Later he worked with Pierre Fournier and Paul Tortelier, before taking lessons from Janos Starker in Bloomington, USA. Demarquette made his concert debut at seventeen with a recital at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and a recording for France 3 Television with pianist Hélène Grimaud. His career has been international ever since. Demarquette plays "le Vaslin", cello manufactured by Stradivarius in 1725 with a Persois bow dated 1820.
