Marianne Davies

Marianne Davies (1743 or 1744 – c. 1818) was an English classical musician, daughter of the composer and flautist Richard Davies and the sister of the soprano Cecilia Davies. She was a singer who also played flute and harpsichord. She was hailed as a child prodigy of the flute, and on April 7, 1751 at Hickford's Long Room, at the age of seven, played not only a concerto of her own composition on the flute, but also a harpsichord concerto by Handel.
