Sometimes individuals walk through life doing many things, serving in their own way, yet never quite reaching that moment they were meant for.  Then, suddenly the world opens up and the moment arrives.  Such is the case with Emile Simon. Emile Simon's CD's are CD's which give you music you've always wished for but never heard.  Emile Simon is one of those unique individuals who every once in awhile cross the stage of life to give us something very rare – a picture of the world in a light we all feel, understand, appreciate yet never quite see.  His music is like his life has been, full of happiness, sadness, truth and vision.  In his life, he has gained international recognition as an author and poet. When he first met his wife, however, they shared the love of music and at that time he began to compose. Being a child protégé of the violin at a very young age, his life was brutally interrupted by WWII and never again did he play the violin.

  However, his love of music never changed and when he met his wife, June Simon, a coloratura soprano, he began to compose music for her.  Unfortunately, she was stricken with an illness which took her voice from her and Emile stopped composing.  Just over a year ago, he and his wife were in a recording studio helping a friend when inadvertently June was asked to sing a few lines only to discover that her voice had returned.  From then on, Emile has been giving us beautiful music: songs and instrumentals we will cherish now and in the future to come. Music disappeared from his life and survival took over....until now.  Now, we are getting a treat – music so pictorial, so touching, so real that it reaches into our very inner soul and then brings us back a little richer, happier and more content.

 

 

The new CD“True Love” is now here.

 

 

Emile Simon's music is modern, classical yet contemporary, and full of opportunities for many instruments almost forgotten in today's society.  The accordion, the trumpet, the violin, the bass, the saxophone, the flute, the pan flute, the mandolin and many others all blend together to form a rich fabric of life through the heart and soul of its composer.  Yes, Emile Simon's music is timeless from the past to the present to the future.
