As a child, Georges was exposed to a wide variety of music, and he was particularly drawn to the works of the great composers of the Romantic era, such as Chopin, Liszt, and Wagner.

Georges began his formal musical education at the Paris Conservatory, where he studied piano with Antoine François Marmontel and composition with Jules Massenet. He was a brilliant student, and he quickly distinguished himself as one of the most promising young musicians of his generation. After completing his studies at the Conservatory, Georges embarked on a successful career as a pianist and composer. He performed extensively throughout Europe, and his concerts were always well-received by audiences and critics alike. He also composed a number of works for piano, orchestra, and chamber ensembles, many of which were performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles of the day.
