| biography:
| Music publisher and patron, born in Melbourne, Victoria, SE Australia. She studied in Edinburgh and at the Royal College of Music, London, and became the centre of Melbourne's musical life, helping establish the British Music Society there in 1921. She established Editions du Oiseau-Lyre, a music-publishing business in Paris in 1927, which set a new standard of music printing, and she became a leader in the revival of early music. Later resident in France, she maintained her links with Australia, and published the works of leading Australian composers. Her considerable Australian estate was left to Melbourne University for music research. |
