Hello,

The following concert announcement for 1947 suggests that you might want to contact Musica Viva - Sydney. (Richard Goldner, one of the performers, was the founder.) They might have an archivist/historian.

Unfortunately Answers.com gives Donald Westlake's death as December 2008. His son Nigel is an active composer and performer.

Good luck-- Peter
