Dame Fanny Waterman talks about her remarkable life in music as she turns 100
Dame Fanny Waterman is surrounded by memories.
Photographs of family, pupils and great classical music figures cover the two Steinway pianos that dominate the lounge of her elegant Leeds home.
More photos line the walls of her cloakroom – of composers, conductors, former Prime Minister Edward Heath playing one of the pianos, of unforgettable moments at the Leeds International Piano Competition, which she conceived in 1961 and which developed into the world’s leading event of its kind.
