Marguerita Spencer

Marguerita "Rita" Spencer (December 28, 1892 – May 5, 1993) was a Canadian pianist, organist, composer and educator.^[1]

She was born Marguerita MacQuarrie in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and studied music there^[2] and at the Halifax Ladies' College, where she studied organ, piano and cello.^[3] She then studied nursing at the Toronto General Hospital, graduating in 1921. In 1922, she married Roy Aubrey Spencer; the couple moved to Saskatoon, where her husband taught engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Spencer continued her musical education there, studying with Lyell Gustin, and also earned a Licentiate in Music from McGill University.

During World War I, she played accompaniment for silent movies; she also played concerts for troops during both World Wars. Spencer performed on CBC radio and played with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.^[2]^[1]

Her compositions include Prairie Suite No. 1 and 24 Preludes. She experienced sight problems later in life and used a tape recorder and transcriber.^[1]

In 1986, she was the subject of a CBC television documentary.^[4]

Spencer died in Saskatoon at the age of 100.^[1]
