Mamlok was born as Ursula Meyer in Berlin, Germany, into a Jewish family. She studied piano and composition until her family fled Nazi Germany in 1938. Due to American immigration quotas, the family moved to Guayaquil, Ecuador, but later Ursula emigrated alone to New York City to continue studying music. Mamlok composed extensively for small chamber ensembles of various configurations as well as works for piano. However, her output included a few pieces for orchestra, including a concerto for oboe. Other works included several songs, as well as works for voice and chamber ensemble.
