Ida Halpern
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ida Halpern (July 17, 1910 – February 7, 1987) was a Canadian ethnomusicologist.
Born in Vienna, Austria, Halpern became a Canadian citizen in 1944. She worked among Native Americans of coastal British Columbia (particularly the Kwakiutl) during the mid-20th century, collecting, recording, and transcribing their music and documenting its use in their culture. Many of these recordings were released as LPs, with extensive liner notes and transcriptions. Halpern died in Vancouver.
