A Tribute to Teresa De Rogatis

Italian guitarist Cinzia Milano continues her series of Tributes to female guitarists with a beautiful program of guitar works by Teresa de Rogatis. Teresa de Rogatis (1893-1979) was born in Naples. A child prodigy, she gave her first recital at the age of 7. She studied piano, composition, counterpoint, voice and conducting in her home town. While in Egypt on a concert tour she married and settled in Cairo, where she helped founding the National Conservatory in the late 50ties. In 1963 she returned to Italy where she continued to compose and teach. She left over 60 works, for both for piano and the guitar.
