Olga Steeb

Olga Steeb (born 1890 – December 29, 1941) was an American pianist and music educator, based in Los Angeles, California.

[1] Her father, a French horn player, was said to have taught his daughter to memorize hundreds of compositions as a child,[2] and she was performing in concerts by 1904.

[10] Once, in 1921, she was called from the audience to the stage to perform a concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, without rehearsal or advanced notice, when the scheduled pianist, Mischa Levitzki, was injured.

[14] The Olga Steeb Piano School operated on Wilshire Boulevard from 1923 to 1942.

[21] Olga Steeb was a widow when she died in Los Angeles in late 1941, from cancer, aged about 55 years.
