This thesis may be made available for loan or limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. iii~~~' Elinor Morrisby 111 ABSTRACT Since the settlement of Australia, the creation, publishing and performance of its string music has faced the vicissitudes of an emerging society geographically removed from mainstream musical history and influences. This thesis aims to establish the significance of Jan Sedivka on contemporary Australian string music. From his exposure to contemporary music in France, Sedivka performed and conducted twentieth century music in England for twenty-one years. Subsequently, he accepted a position at the Queensland Conservatorium, and from 1966, he taught and performed in Tasmania. There he established a Piano Trio that introduced contemporary music to the public, and was director of the String Summer Schools from 1971 to 1988 where students were exposed to contemporary European and Australian music.
