The Ruben family played an important role in the intellectual and artistic life of Limoges. Guillaume Aimé, known as Paul Ruben (1841-1933), was a composer and musician from Limoges who founded the Fanfare in 1865 and directed the Société Harmonique—which later became the Harmonie Municipale—from 1876 to 1890. His father, Ernest (1818-1900), had contributed to the revival of the art of enameling. His uncle, Émile (1823-1871), had directed the municipal library.
