Career

Born in Aylesbury, England,[1] she was educated in France where she studied with pianist Marcel Ciampi.[2] Following the end of World War II, she returned to England, studied with Franz Reizenstein and Solomon Cutner, and performed on the BBC.[2]

In 1960 she married violinist Jan Sedivka, and they moved to Queensland, Australia the following year.[2] After several years at the Queensland Conservatorium, they relocated to Hobart, Tasmania, and formed the Tasmanian Conservatorium Trio with cellist Sela Trau.[2] They performed in Hobart and Launceston, and gained praise from the local press. Their final performance as the Tasmanian Conservatorium Trio was held in 1978.[2]

Beryl Sedivka is considered one of Hobart's best known and most prominent pianists.[3] She has performed for the ABC,[2] and lectured at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music between 1966 and 2008,[4][2] with her students including Geoffrey Lancaster,[5] and Neil Goodchild.[6]

She was awarded an Order of Australian Medal in 2021 for service to music as a performer and mentor.[7]
