Bio
Amy Beach was an American composer and pianist, widely recognized as the first successful female composer of large-scale classical works in the United States. Born in New Hampshire in 1867, she was largely self-taught in composition and achieved early acclaim with her Mass in E-flat major and her Gaelic Symphony. Beach's music combined Romantic-era expressiveness with American and Irish influences, and she remained an active performer and composer until her death in 1944.
