Black British composer, teacher and opera singer Amanda Aldridge is being remembered today as the latest Google Doodle celebrates her life and career. 

Google Doodles often change the classic Google logo to incorporate a historical figure or special occasion relating to a specific date. 

The Google image for Friday, June 17 features a pairing of Aldridge with a doodle of musical treble clefs on either side. 

The woman displayed is Aldridge, who is known for her work as a composer  who released dozens of instrumental tracks, parlour music, and more  than 30 songs under the pseudonym Montague Ring. 

She was born on March 10, 1866, in London. 

On this day in 1911, Aldridge gave a piano recital at London's pre-war  principal concert venue, Queens Small Hall, the original home of the BBC Symphony and London Philharmonic Orchestras. 

Google describes Aldridge as an inspirational figure who showed "musical prowess at a young age." 

Amanda Aldridge was the daughter of African-American actor and Swedish opera singer, Ira Aldridge. 

As a vocalist, she pursued a career at London's Royal Conservatory of  Music, where she studied under eminent Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. 

Sadly, Aldridge's singing career was soon cut short by a throat injury,  but she used her talents to develop a prolific career as a vocal  teacher, piano player and composer.
