A gold medalist in composition (1900 and 1901), she taught piano at that college from 1903 to 1907, and became director of piano classes at Whitman College in Washington, D.C.

She also conducted orchestras in Canada, England and the United States, as guest conductor. A U.S. resident for over 75 years, she has left an inspired corpus which includes works for orchestra, choir, choir and orchestra, and an unfinished opera on the life of the French colonists who came to Canada (The Bells of Circumstance).Additional information:Associated material note:The Music Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts holds most of Gena Branscombe's archives.Container note(s):1 : 1994-2
