About Ruth Schonthal
Ruth Schonthal was born in Hamburg of Viennese parents. At the age of five she began composing and became the youngest student ever accepted at the Stern'sches Konservatorium in Berlin . In 1935, Schonthal and her family were forced to leave Nazi Germany on account of her Jewish heritage. She later studied at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) in Stockholm, where at the age of fourteen, she had her first Sonatina published. At the RAM she studied composition with Ingemar Liljefors and piano with Olaf Wibergh.
