Guilhermina Suggia

[2] During the period of her residence in Britain during the 1920s and 1930s,[3] she was a frequent visitor to Lindisfarne Castle in northern England, where a cello now rests in the Music Room in commemoration of her time spent there.

He was briefly engaged to her and bought her the aforementioned Montagnana cello, which she is shown playing in the portrait by Augustus John referred to below.

[5] While in Britain in the 1920s she taught various British cellists, and after returning to Portugal she continued to teach, with notable students including Amaryllis Fleming, Thelma Reiss, Sheridan Russell and Peggie Sampson.

[12] Suggia bequeathed her Stradivarius cello to the Royal Academy of Music in London, to be sold to fund a scholarship for young cellists.

The first holder was Derek Simpson, and other winners include Rohan de Saram (1955), Jacqueline du Pré (1956–1961),[13] Robert Cohen (1967–1971), Hafliði Hallgrímsson, Steven Isserlis, Raphael Wallfisch and Julian Lloyd Webber.

[14] The large auditorium at Casa da Música in Porto is named Sala Suggia in her honour.

Probably the most famous image of Suggia is the oil portrait by the Welsh artist Augustus John, whose daughter Amaryllis Fleming later became a well-known cellist herself.

It was shown at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh in 1924, bought by an American but later returned to England and presented to the Tate Gallery.

The Manchester Guardian wrote of this work that it "will serve to remind future generations that here was a musician who matched the nobility of her art with that of her presence on the concert platform.
