Lucille, Lady Curzon (née Wallace; 1898–1977) was a British-based American harpsichordist and student of the classical musicians Artur Schnabel, Wanda Landowska and Nadia Boulanger.
Those in attendance were treated to a performance by her of Grieg's Piano Concerto (first movement) with organ accompaniment by Professor E. Harold Geer.
From 1927 to 1932, she traveled to London, Paris and Berlin to receive training from the masters Artur Schnabel, Wanda Landowska and Nadia Boulanger.
[9] During her time with Schnabel, she lived in her own villa in Attersee, Salzkammergut, Austria, which she obtained by using funds from the inheritance she received when her father passed away.
Four years later, she made the decision to give up her career on the musical stage in order to become a mother to two boys who had been orphaned by friends and fellow artists, Gustav Diessl and Maria Cebotari, who had died, respectively, from a stroke and cancer.
She studied with Landowska and Boulanger in the twenties, and also had lessons with Schnabel, so that by the time of their marriage in 1931 their natural musical affinity was reinforced by their shared experience of formative tuition.
