A french-born conductor, bandmaster and showman Riviere wrote a number of popular musical pieces for the stage, such as 'Overture on Soldier's Songs'. He was the resident conductor of the Llandudno pier orchestra.
He died aged 81 years old. He is buried at Llandrillo-yn-Rhos churchyard. A stained glass window in the church commemorates him, as does a road in Colwyn Bay 'Rivieres Avenue'.
