Isidora Zegers

She studied voice, harp, guitar, piano and composition in Paris, France, then moved to Chile in 1823 with her father, who had been hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In 1826, she married Colonel William Vic Tupper, who died in the Battle of Lircay.

She had two children from her marriages, including Chilean lawyer and politician Jorge Huneeus Zegers (1835–1889).

In 1852, Zegers was named honorary president of the National Academy of Music.

Because of a painful illness, she moved to the city of Copiapó in 1862, seeking a better climate for her health.
