Susanne Dessoir

Born in Zielona Góra, Silesia, Dessoir was a student of Amalie Joachim and Etelka Gerster.

After her withdrawal from the stage she became involved with young artists, mainly composers (Max Reger for example).

[3] In 1912, together with Bruno Hinze-Reinhold, she published the so-called Dessoir albums,[4] collections of folk and children's songs as well as songs from the time before Schubert.

Dessoir died in Königstein im Taunus at the age of 83.
