Anne Macky
Anne Macky (1887-1964) was an Australian composer and pianist.[1]
Macky established the People's Conservatorium in 1917 in Melbourne and managed it until she emigrated to England in 1932. While in England, Macky studied composition with the composer and teacher Arthur Willner. After returning to Australia in 1946, she composed numerous works that were regularly performed in Melbourne, and occasionally broadcast on Australian radio.
During the 1920s, Macky became committed to Anthroposophy as a result of hearing lectures given by Rudolf Steiner. She established a branch of the Anthroposophical Society in Melbourne.
