Henriette van den Boorn-Coclet

Henriette van den Boorn-Coclet (15 January 1866 – 6 March 1945) was a Belgian composer. She was born in Liege, Belgium and studied at the Liège Conservatory with Jean-Théodore Radoux and Sylvain Dupuis, where she received a first prize in solfège (1887) harmony (1882) and fugue (1884). She also won a silver medal for chamber music (piano and strings) in 1886.[1] After completing her education, she took a position teaching harmony at the Conservatory (1892–1931).[2] She won the Prix de Rome in 1895.[3] She died in Liege.
