Raymond Gallois-Montbrun (August 15, 1918, Saigon – August 13, 1994, Paris) was a French violinist and composer. He studied violin and composition at the Conservatoire de Paris, and won the Prix de Rome in 1944. His works include a violin concerto and the symphony Japan.
In 1996 the violin concerto was published under the name of Atlanta-based composer Tristan Foison.
Foison's concerto was given its "American premiere" on 17 November 1996 in a performance by the Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra with soloist Beth Newdome.
Only 20 years later the piece was discovered to be a note-for-note duplicate of Gallois-Montbrun's.
