This thesis presents the professional biography of Dinorá de Carvalho (1895-1980), Brazilian pianist, composer and conductor, looking into her first 45 years of life. I directed the research to the primary sources, forming the documentary corpus from newspaper and magazine clippings, concert programs, photographs, letters, official documents as well as other documents present in the Dinorá Gontijo de Carvalho Murici Collection, (which is in the custody of the Museu da Imagem e do Som – MIS – in São Paulo/SP, in the periodicals made available online by the Hemeroteca Digital of the Brazilian National Library, in the online collection of the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, in the online collection of the newspaper A Folha de Sâo Paulo and in the digital collection of Biblioteque National Francese – Gallica and Retronews: press site of the BNF. Within these sources we will see the development of Dinorá de Carvalho's years of musical training, observing her studies, the development of her career as a pianist and composer in Brazil and abroad; her performance as a conductor and also her actions as a Brazilian citizen in the difficult national moment of the Constitutionalist War; her experience with radio as an artist and programmer, creating a new image of Dinorá de Carvalho and her great importance in our Brazilian musical historiography.
