As a child he learned to play the violin, and at the age of twelve he entered the Toronto Conservatory of Music. In 1923 he and three colleagues formed the Hart House String Quartet, in which Adaskin played second violin. Sponsored by Vincent and Alice Massey, it was the first Canadian string quartet to gain an international reputation. The Quartet made many concert tours of North America and Europe, and in 1928 played at Maurice Ravel's New York debut. In 1938 Adaskin resigned from the Quartet, and as a freelance musician combined musical performance with a broadcasting career. He and his wife, pianist Frances Man* Adaskin, undertook a number of concert tours throughout Canada and the United States. For several seasons in the 1940's Adaskin was intermission commentator for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra's Sunday .

In the Company of Gentiles: Exploring the History of Integrated Jews in British Columbia, 1858-1971
i In the Company of Gentiles: Exploring the History of Integrated Jews in British Columbia, 1858-1971 Lillooet Nordlinger McDonnell Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in History Department of History Faculty of Graduate and Post-Graduate Studies University of Ottawa © Lillooet Nordlinger McDonnell, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii Abstract In the Company of Gentiles: Exploring the History of Integrated Jews in British Columbia, 1858-1971 Lillooet Nordlinger McDonnell Professor Pierre Anctil 2011 From 1858 until 1971 society in British Columbia (BC) offered Jews a context of coexistence, characterized by periods of harmony and contention. By way of five microhistories focusing on the lives of Cecelia Davies Sylvester, Hannah Director, Leon Koerner, Harry Adaskin, and Nathan Nemetz, this study examines various modes of integration for Jews within particular periods of BC history. Each microhistory explores the boundaries that were crossed and fostered by Jews whose careers and social contributions led them outside the confines of the established Jewish community. These Jews represent the vanguard of Jewish integration for each era to which they contributed. Due to the fact that British Columbia‘s Jewish population has historically been relatively small, the experience of integration, as expressed by individual British Columbian Jews, is significant. This study assumes that individuals are expressions of society; that social shifts are reflected in and affected by individual action; and that, in history, there exists a dialectical relationship between society and individuals. The theoretical framework of this thesis comprises approaches adapted from social history and sociology.

Letter from the BC Director Tonight’s concert is full of connections and meaning for me. I first heard Avan Yu play the piano when he was fifteen, playing Chopin so beautifully it made me cry. I first heard Timothy when he was fourteen. He played unaccompanied Bach for me in a cold classroom at the Victoria Conservatory without even warming up. It was so profoundly beautiful and musically so far beyond his years, played with such a gorgeous, round sound, that I was incredulous. My entire life has been spent involved in music, much of it trying to find and help develop extraordinary artistry.

The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014
The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 by Min-Jeong Koh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Min-Jeong Koh 2014 The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 Min-Jeong Koh Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This paper examines the proliferation of string quartets in Canada between 1991 and 2014. The year 1991 is a pivotal one: it was the end of a Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada with the conclusion of the activities of the Orford, Vághy, and Purcell Quartets. It marked, also, the beginning of a New Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada. Similar to their predecessors, the quartets of this new era have different levels of international success, but one could call it a New Golden Age from the sheer number of professional ensembles active in Canada from 1991 onward. The thesis begins with biographies of leading ensembles of this period: the Alcan, Arthur Leblanc, Claudel-Canimex, St. Lawrence, Lafayette, Penderecki, Molinari, Bozzini, Borealis, Tokai, Silverbirch, Cecilia, Afiara, and the New Orford Quartets. The fourth chapter researches the opportunities available to string quartets in Canada, including the Banff International String Quartet Competition. To supplement the biographies and to gain additional insight on the available resources, eight quartet players participated in interviews. Findings emphasize the need to create more support for Canadian musicians, including both professional ensembles and also young aspiring quartet ensembles, to stay in Canada.

ACWC History of Canadian Women Composers
A Brief and Non-exhaustive Early History of Canadian Women Composers Compiled by Emily Hiemstra, 2021 All biographies were found on the CMC Website Amice Calvery (1896-1959) Born in London England in 1896, Amice studied art at the Slade School, and piano with James Friskin. In 1912 the family moved to Oakville, Ontario. Amice continued her musical studies at the Toronto Conservatory of Music as a student of Healey Willan. During the First World War, she worked in a munitions factory and at the Christie Street Hospital while continuing her musical studies, and in 1922 won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in England, where she studied with Vaughan Williams. At Oxford she met the archaeologist Leonard Woolley who encouraged her to pursue archaeological drawing, and in 1927 she became involved with the documentation being done by the Egypt Exploration Society of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos. Calverley completed five volumes on Egyptology that are considered epic achievements in the field. Although in her lifetime she sojourned at Abydos longer than any other place, she continued her musical interests, as well as making films documenting folklore in Greece and the Balkans between and after the wars. Among her works are many songs, an opera, and at least two string quintets. Calverley considered herself a Canadian even though she mostly spent her life abroad. Her final years were spent at her home in Oakville, which became known as a gathering place for chamber music performances. She died in Toronto in April 1959.
