	OBITUARY: Murray Adaskin Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		THE CANADIAN composer and violinist Murray Adaskin came from an unusually gifted family: his brother John was a cellist and the first CBC radio producer; his brother Harry was a violinist, teacher and broadcaster, and Murray's first violin teacher; and another brother, Gordon, was a painter.
		Murray was the first child of his Russian- immigrant parents to be born in Canada.
		Adaskin was keen that his music - which is accessible, well- crafted and has considerable rhythmic pep - should sound somehow Canadian and, consulting Milhaud on the subject, explained that he was passionate about his country.

	Murray Adaskin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Murray Adaskin's musical training began at an early age when he learned to play the violin -- taught by his brother Harry.
		Adaskin and his late wife (soprano Frances James) spent many summers in Algonquin Park (Ontario) after 1945 and his music often reflects the magic and spirit of that region.
		As well as being an accomplished performer and composer, Adaskin was head of the Department of Music at the University of Saskatchewan from 1952 until he retired to Victoria in 1973.

	Review of Murray Adaskin
		Adaskin’s stories, which unfold slowly but which reveal much about the philosophy and influences of the man, take us from his early days in Toronto as an amanuensis of his older violinist brother Harry, through his years as a member of the trio that played at the Royal York Hotel.
		The logical assumption would be that these are new interviews compiled for this recording, but since this information was not explicit, the listener is left to guess who the interviewees might be, with what authority they describe the composer, and at what stage of his career their comments were made.
		Adaskin wrote at least twenty works featuring the violin as a solo instrument, clearly indicating its importance in his output.

		Adaskin received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Lethbridge "for his role in development of music in the prairies"; he was a member of the Canada Council for three years, and was made an honorary member of the Saskatoon Musicians Association.
		Adaskin said he enjoyed creating commissioned works, since the medium, the occasion and the theme are provided, and still the scope for personal expression is unlimited.
		Adaskin's immediate plans include a week of adjudicating at the music festival in Winnipeg and a week at Vancouver and Victoria festivals, to be followed by a summer of "serious work" in musical composition in Algonquin Park.

		Murray Adaskin was born in Toronto in 1906, and has for much of his life been an important influence in Canadian music.
		Adaskin has a real feel for wind instruments, and understands that, when writing for this particular combination, blend is at a premium, and the composer must capitalise on the contrasting characteristics of the five instruments.
		This is Adaskin composing for his own instrument, and the writing is superbly idiomatic.

	Adaskin String Trio - Publicity

	The Musical World of Frances James and Murray Adaskin. by M. Bunsted (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The common perception of the development of music in Canada, fostered indirectly by the and commercial radio, and certainly implicit in the famous report of the Massey Commission in 1949 on the state of Canadian culture, is that not much had happened (Before Canada Council).
		While both James and Adaskin had interesting enough careers to warrant full-scale biography, documentary evidence apart from personal reminiscence and newspaper clippings would appear to be thin on the ground.
		Moreover, Lazarevich is anxious not only to account for the careers of her principals, but also to describe the largely forgotten cultural milieus in which they operated, ranging from hotels to Women's Musical clubs of the 1940s.

		These were some of the most solemn and moving moments in the evening’s concert.

		At the time Murray Adaskin, a world-renowned composer and violinist, was composer-in-residence at the University, and “had hoped from the beginning that acquisition of these fine instruments would lead to the establishment of a resident string quartet.”
		Finding the right musicians proved difficult; but with Adaskin, Norma Lee Bisha, Michael Bowie and Edward Bisha, the Amati Quartet was able to make its first public appearance on 2 February 1969.
		Steve Kolbinson was himself an excellent musician and clearly, an exceptional collector. As an editorial noted, he wanted the people of Saskatchewan “have the pleasure of enjoying [these] rare instruments and the satisfaction of knowing [the province] is home to such exquisite pieces.”
