Composer
Elizabeth Maconchy (1907-1994)
Dame Elizabeth Violet Maconchy, Mrs. Le Fanu DBE (19 March 1907, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire – 11 November 1994) was an English composer, most noted for her cycle of thirteen string quartets.
Maconchy began to compose at the age of six. After the First World War, her family moved to Ireland. Here she took piano lessons, but was advised by her teacher to study at the Royal College of Music in London, where she began studying at the age of sixteen. Her teachers included Arthur Alexander (piano) and Charles Wood and Ralph Vaughan Williams (musical composition). Her music attracted the attention of the most distinguished musicians of the day, including Sir Henry Wood, Sir Donald Tovey and Gustav Holst.
