Maureen Therese O'Halloran was born in Footscray, Victoria in 1935[1] and grew up in Melbourne.[2] She graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Music in 1959. She later completed a Master of Music (1969) and PhD (1978) at the same university.[3]
Career
Radic's first play, Some of My Best Friends Are Women, was co-written with her husband, Leonard Radic. It was first performed by the Melbourne Theatre Company in 1983.[4] When A Treasury of Favourite Australian Songs was published in the same year, reviewer Harry Black praised it for range of the bush songs included and for Radic's meticulous research into the origins of each song.[5]
Radic is the author of a biography of the violinist and conductor Bernard Heinze, which was published by Macmillan in 1986. Canberra Times critic W. L. Hoffmann considered it a "fascinating" but "somewhat one-sided" portrayal. Reviewing Melba – The Voice of Australia in the same article, Hoffmann described it as a "highly readable account of her life and successes, excellently documented, and with a number of fine illustrations."[6]
In 1994 Radic chaired "The Composing Women's Festival", a five-day event celebrating the musical contribution of Australian women composers. Several works were commissioned. In his preview, music critic Mike Daly reported that "16 concerts and recitals included classical, jazz, pop, electronic and experimental music, plus multi-media installations, demonstrations and conferences."[7]
