Pasdeloup was born in [[Paris]]. His father was an assistant conductor at the [[Opéra Comique]]; he was educated in music at the [[conservatoireConservatoire de Paris]], leaving with a first prize in piano. He founded in 1851 a ''sociétéSociété des jeunes artistes du conservatoire'' that gave concerts in the Salle Hertz for a decade, and, as conductor of its concerts, did much to popularize the best new compositions of the time. His popular [[Pasdeloup Orchestra|Concerts Pasdeloup]] at the ''[[Cirque d'hiver]]'', Paris, from 1861 till 1884, had also a great effect in promoting French taste in music, introducing works by [[Wagner]] and [[Robert Schumann|Schumann]], as well as reviving public interest in the symphonies of [[Mozart]], [[Haydn]], and [[Beethoven]]. In 1868 he founded the Société des Oratories to present [[oratorio]]s,<ref>See Howard E. Smither, ''A History of the Oratorio'', 1977.</ref> and joined the [[Théâtre Lyrique]] the same year, though he was disappointed there at his lack of popular success in reviving operas like [[Christoph Willibald Gluck|Gluck]]'s ''[[Iphigénie en Tauride]]''. He was made a member of the ''[[Légion d'Honneur]]''. He died, aged 67, in [[Fontainebleau]].<ref>''The New York Times'' reported that he died in Paris.</ref>
