Florence Hood (14 Oct 1880–1968) was a violinist from Melbourne, Victoria who married and moved to Canada, where she was a member of the Montreal String Quartet.
Professor Schrader later said of her, with his typical modesty:"... she came to me as a young girl, and made such amazingly rapid progress with her piano studies that before very long I launched her upon the violin.
During the Great War she entertained troops in concert with pianist Una Bourne and sopranos Mona McCaughey and Kate Benda.
[6] She and Una Bourne were champions of British composers: in 1920 their Continental concerts featured violin sonatas by Elgar and Dunhill.
[9] She returned to Australia in 1933 for concert tours and radio broadcasts, one of which featured the first Australian performance of a sonata by Healey Willan.
