Nadia Boulanger: Mademoiselle (1977): Cast

This documentary, Bruno Monsaingeon’s first film, was captured in grainy black‑and‑white during the 1960s and early 1970s with modest sound quality. It records Nadia Boulanger in her late eighties, still commanding her art. Monsaingeon re‑cut it in 1977. The film offers a vital portrait of the legendary teacher, showing her famed weekly “Wednesday” composition class held in her apartment for nearly six decades, where she illuminates a passage of Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze for her students.
