Istvan Anhalt, born into a Jewish family in Budapest in 1919, studied with Zoltán Kodály before being conscripted into a forced labour camp during World War II. In the late 1940s he studied under Nadia Boulanger and Soulima Stravinsky before emigrating to Canada in 1949, where he has been an important figure in the Canadian music scene for the last fifty years.

Anyone interested in Canadian music, composers' thought processes, or Anhalt's life and music will find it quite absorbing." Paul Pederson, Faculty of Music, University of Toronto
