[csaa-forum] Origins of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra

[Vincent O'Donnell]

Dear csaa-forum,

Some moderately long time ago, I heard a radio program on ABC RN (I think) that told the history of the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra. The program included interviews with some (now) elderly women.  They claimed a key role in lobbying ABC
management in the 1930s to establish a permanent orchestra for Sydney.  Phillip Sametz's book on the SSO gives them no
recognition, but I want to confirm and cite their influence in my Ph D thesis on the ways cultural policy is created,
evolved and influenced.



Any suggestions for the title of the program, or perhaps of the names of the individuals.... or indeed any hints, would
be greatly appreciated.
