Susan C. Domett (1826–1911) was a British composer active in the 1840s. The Two Original Polkas presented here are her only known guitar works, dedicated to her student, the Countess Fanny de Persano. A review from 1847 noted that her music was characterised by "simplicity and neatness" — an apt description of these light and lively dances, which would have offered some technical challenges for amateur players of the time. Domett later became a portrait painter.
Emma Rush is "widely regarded as one of Canada's premier classical guitarists" (Vivascene Magazine). She has performed worldwide across four continents and is in demand as a guest lecturer and presenter, with a particular passion for sharing the lives and music of overlooked composers of the nineteenth century.
