Alba Rosa Viëtor Stichting

About Alba Rosa Viëtor Stichting

Alba Rosa Viëtor (1889-1979) was a renowned violinist, pianist and composer of her time. She was born in Italy and eventually settled in the United States, after a stay in South America.

Alba Rosa Viëtor was in those days one of the few female composers and the only female member of the Society of American composers. Her works were performed by America’s greatest orchestras and soloists, on the same program with composers such as Charles Ives, Aaron Copland and John Philip Sousa.

To keep her memory alive and to offer talented musicians and (female) composers a stage, the Alba Rosa Viëtor Foundation started the Alba Rosa Viva! Chamber music festival and the Alba Rosa Viëter Composition Competition.
