SEYD-WOOD, Lily Eugenie

Lily Eugenie Wood (nee Seyd) was born in Dusseldorf, Germany on 8th March, 1896. She got married in 1920, in Cologne, and soon after emigrated to Australia.

Despite having travelled widely and having lived an adventurous life, Seyd-Wood's chief interest remained her music. Her compositions probably date from the early 1930s and it had been her great wish to have them published and performed. Unfortunately, this task became too great for her to contemplate in later life and it was only after her death in 1986 that her wishes could be carried out, by the executor of her will.
