Niki Goldschmidt: A Life in Canadian Music (UTP)

In 1957, Vienna-trained Niki Goldschmidt came to Vancouver and started the Vancouver International Festival, bringing Joan Sutherland to the remote West Coast burg for her North American debut, conducted by Bruno Walter. Known for his internationalism, he subsequently made his mark as an impresario, organizing small town music festivals. At 93, he's the subject of a biography by Gwenlyn Setterfield called Niki Goldschmidt: A Life in Canadian Music (UTP).
