Aymé Kunc
Aymé Kunc (20 January 1877 – 13 February 1958) was a French composer and administrator.

Career
Born in Toulouse, Kunc won second prize alongside Maurice Ravel in the Prix de Rome competition of 1902. Until 1907 he conducted the orchestra of the Théâtre Apollo in Paris. In 1914 he became the director of the Toulouse Conservatory, in which capacity he served for thirty years until 1944. He died in Toulouse aged 81.

Beginning in 1996, the Association Aymé Kunc has promoted the composer's music, and has recorded a number of his works, including the Messe de Sainte-Cécile.
