Details
Thelma Reiss (née Reiss-Smith; 2 July 1906 – 17 September 1991) was a British cellist who had an international career as a soloist and chamber musician between 1930 and 1955. Her teachers were Ivor James and Guilhermina Suggia. She was a musical prodigy from an impoverished background who toured in the south-west of England as a young child, and played in theatres, clubs, music halls and restaurants before coming to wider public attention in the early 1930s. In that decade she performed concertos with most major British orchestras, made several tours in Europe, and gave premieres of works by Arnold Bax and George Dyson, before her career was interrupted by the Second World War. After the war, she continued to give recitals, retiring from performance in 1955 due to ill health.
