Very sad to hear of the passing of composer Sonja Grossner. I was inspired by her life story, her strength and resilience, and to get a strong feel for her passion for the arts, artistry and self expression in the chats and exchanges we had. She was always kind to me. She was part of the Birmingham Conservatoire family and a familiar face. Rest in peace, Sonja.
Leicester ACG has been informed of the sad news that Sonja Grossner died on 12th April. According to her daughter, Lorna, Sonja died from a complication of a severely infected leg.
Sonja had an interest in anarchism and was a regular participant in Leicester ACG (and previously Leicester AF) meetings. What you may not know was that she was a professional composer and music teacher with a Ph.D in composition. She was also the daughter of famous German expressionist painters who were hounded out of Dresden by the Nazis and came to Britain. In the 1950’s they returned to Dresden, then in the GDR, only to be eventually hounded in turn by the Stasi. Sonja was instrumental in establishing the standing exhibition of German Expressionism at the New Walk Museum and Gallery.
We are still working on getting more details about the death, as a family statement on the death is yet to be released.
