Composers
Agata della Pietà
Italian composer Agata (1712-1769) whose surname is unknown, is identified in the records simply by her first name Agata (Italian spelling of Agatha), or as Agata Cantora (cantora means ‘singer’). She arrived at the Pietà in 1712, most likely given up by her parents because of her apparent disability. Agata soon shone as a star student.
Elizabeth Anderson
Elizabeth Anderson has performed in no less than eleven international concert tours to Europe, Japan and Singapore. She is a regular guest lecturer and performer at universities and music schools throughout Australia.
