About
Lois Alleyne Simpson AO (1927–2008) was an internationally renowned Australian cellist, respected teacher and chamber musician at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and ANU School of Music. In 1940, aged 13, Simpson became the youngest female musician ever in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO). At the age of 17 Simpson left the SSO to play with the Colgate-Palmolive Orchestra but rejoined the SSO in 1953 where she remained for more than 30 years, leading the cello section for much of that time. In the late 1940s Simpson was a member of the Musica Viva Players and was a founding member of the Australian Chamber Orchestra in the 1970s. In 1985, Simpson moved to Canberra, Australia where she organised the chamber music program at the ANU School of Music for ten years.
