Lilias Livingstone Mackinnon LRAM (20 April 1889 – 1974) was a Scottish pianist and music educator.
Early life and education [ edit ]
Mackinnon was born in Aberdeen , the daughter of Lachlan Mackinnon and Theodora Thompson.[1] Doris Mackinnon and artist Esther Blaikie MacKinnon .[2] George Thompson .
She studied piano with Julian Rossetti, and with Carlo Albanesi at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM).[1] [3] Tobias Matthay .[4]
Pianist [ edit ]
In Mackinnon gave concerts of piano works by Scriabin in London, beginning in 1917.[3] [5] Oscar Beringer for a benefit concert of works to two pianos, at London's Aeolian Hall .[6] BBC Proms concerts at Queen's Hall .[7] Aileen Fox , remembered seeing a concert by Mackinnon at Wigmore Hall .[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
Critics generally praised Mackinnon's technique and choice of programme,[6] [15] [16] Ezra Pound described her playing as having "a fluid, not an architecture manner; it is not a confusion."[17] The Guardian [18] Oakland Tribune [19]
Lecturer, writer, arts patron [ edit ]
Mackinnon devised her own method of memorising piano music, which she taught by correspondence. In 1935, she conducted a summer music school in St. Andrews .[20] Music by Heart (1938), "the only non-technical book in English devoted primarily to memorization", and "a classic", according to a 1955 review.[21]
During World War II , Mackinnon taught at Dominican College in California, and at Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Illinois.[22] [23] [24] [4] Nancy Laird Chance was one of her students.[25]
Alexander Stuart-Hill painted Mackinnon's portrait in about 1920; she donated that painting to the Perth Art Gallery .[26] Maurice Besly dedicated a 1928 composition to Mackinnon.[27] Smithsonian American Art Museum .[28] [29]
