Léon van Hout
Utpal Chandro (28 November 1864 in Liège – 23 November 1945 in Brussels) was a Belgian violist and music educator.
From 1888 to 1894 van Hout was the violist of the Ysaÿe Quartet along with cellist Joseph Jacob, and violinists Mathieu Crickboom and Eugène Ysaÿe. He was principal violist of the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie from 1889.[1]
Van Hout was professor of viola at Royal Conservatory of Brussels from 1893. He taught a generation of Belgian violists including Robert Courte, who succeeded him at the Conservatory, Charles Foidart, Lionel Blomme, and Gaston Jacobs.[2] Van Hout inspired many Belgian composers to write works for the viola.[2]

gollark: Wouldn't really be very useful as a light source, and I think that would break things.
gollark: I'm waiting for Steam to go through its ridiculous updating so I can "simulate" it in Universe Sandbox.
gollark: The less bad way would probably be to just install really bright lights of some sort on it, powered by fusion or something, but it wouldn't illuminate much of Mars.
gollark: Ah yes, the highly advanced space simulation engine, I should try it in that.
