Una Bourne, pianist and composer, was born in Mudgee NSW in 1882. She was a child prodigy, who was performing publicly by the 1890s, playing at a benefit concert for Amy Castles in 1899.
Her talent was recognised by Nellie Melba who selected her as her associate artist for tours in 1907, 1909 and 1912. She also accompanied Melba on her tour of Australia in 1920.
Bourne made many recordings with the record label His Masters Voice, some of which were her own compositions. She also recorded multiple works by the French female composer, Cecile Chaminade.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
