Biographical history
Dorothea Crompton, fl 1901-1924, was a pupil at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and a concert singer. She died in 1965.
Two memorial prizes were established at the GSMD in memory of Dorothea Crompton. In November 1971 the Music Committee reported to Common Council that a Miss Louisa Band had offered the sum of £450 for a prize to be awarded in memory of Miss Dorothea Crompton, a former pupil of the School. The prize was to be awarded annually for the singing of music by J S Bach at the discretion of the Principal in consultation with the Director of Music, the Head of Singing and the Head of General Musicianship at the School. The offer was accepted by Common Council and a trust deed was ordered to be executed.
In February 1974 a further offer from Miss Band to establish a second memorial prize was received by Common Council. On this occasion Common Council accepted the sum of £495 to provide an annual prize to be awarded at the discretion of the Principal for Lieder or Chanson in alternate years or to be divided between the two subjects in any one year if the students performance warranted it.

Papers of Dorothea (or Dorothy) Crompton, pupil at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, 1913-1924. The collection, consisting of concert programmes, advertising posters, professors' reports and correspondence, had been found at the School and had been used in an exhibition there. The exhibition, entitled "Who was Dorothea Crompton?", had been mounted to try to establish some details about Crompton as nothing was known about her. As far as can be gathered, no information about Dorothea Crompton was produced as a result of the exhibition.
