Savage, Jane 1752 - 1824

Jane Savage was born 1752 or 1753 in Tenterden (Kent), England, the daughter of the composer William Savage and his wife Mary Savage Bolt. In her youth she was probably musically trained by her father and brought this talent to greater virtuosity on the harpsichord. From about 1780 until her marriage in 1790 she worked in London as a harpsichordist and composer. For her the time afterwards is unclear whether, and in what way she continued her musical career. Under her new, married name there are certainly not any known compositions. She died 1824 in London.
