About Reine Colaço-Osorio-Swaab

(01/16/1881 - 04/14/1971)
Reine Colaço-Osorio-Swaab

Reine Colaço Osorio-Swaab started her career as a composer later in life. Initially she wrote mainly songs in a late-Romantic style. After lessons in composition with Henk Badings, her music became more atonal. We know little about how Reine survived the war, she never talked about this period. Despite the fact that most of it was published, her work was largely forgotten.
