In 1917, when many theatres and concert halls were closed because of [[World War I]], [[Blaise Cendrars]] and the painter [[Moïse Kisling]] decided to put on concerts at 6 {{Interlanguage link|rue Huyghens|fr}}, the studio of the painter [[Émile Lejeune (painter)|Émile Lejeune]] (1885–1964). For the first of these events, the walls of the studio were decorated with canvases by [[Pablo Picasso|Picasso]], [[Henri Matisse|Matisse]], [[Fernand Léger|Léger]], [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]], and others. Music by [[Erik Satie]], Honegger, Auric, and Durey was played. This concert gave Satie the idea of assembling a group of composers around himself to be known as ''{{Lang|fr|Les nouveaux jeunes}}'', forerunners of {{Lang|fr|Les Six}}. Soon after, Honegger suggested that Milhaud should be a part of the group, and a famous Spanish pianist named Ricardo Viñes introduced Poulenc to the group. Later, Germaine Tailleferre was slowly incorporated into the group thus establishing the Les Six.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chang |first1=Xuewei |last2=Salleh |first2=Marzelan Bin |last3=Sun |first3=Jifang |date=April 22, 2024 |title=Resonating Reflections: A Critical Review of Ethnosymbolic Dynamics in Les Six's Music Nationalism Movement |journal=Arts |language=en |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=75 |doi=10.3390/arts13020075 |doi-access=free |issn=2076-0752}}</ref>
