Anna Suszczynska (1877 – August 1931)[1] was a Polish composer,[2] pianist and music educator who established music schools in Poznan and in Binghamton, New York.
Suszczynska was born in Poznan. She studied music at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin, and in New York. Polish piano virtuoso Ignacy Jan Paderewski praised her performances.[3][4]
After studying music in New York, Susczcynska returned to Poznan to establish and direct a music school. Back in New York through at least 1922,[1] she established another music school in Binghamton.[5] She presented solo piano recitals and also accompanied soprano Minna Kaufmann Ruud[6][7] and other singers.[7] Suszczynska died in Poznan in August 1931.
