Goldsmith's life-long contributions to the arts have greatly enriched
the cultural life of British Columbia. She is the Founder and Artistic
Director of Vancouver's Music in the Morning, a concert society
that features local, national and international artists who speak
from the stage about the music they play. Ms. Goldsmith has created
a niche with her unique morning concert format, offering challenging
programmes to the growing number of people who prefer their cultural
experiences in the daytime. She is passionate in sharing her love
of music with others.
Ms. Goldsmith,
ever committed to British Columbia artists, has founded and directed
several musical series throughout the province, including Whistler's
Music in the Mountains, West Vancouver's Music in the Library, and
Music in the Market at Granville Island. She also organises outreach
performances and free concerts, endeavouring to provide musical
experiences for all.
Ms. Goldsmith
gives much of her time and considerable expertise to national organisations
such as the Juno Awards, the Canadian Music Centre and the Canada
Council for the Arts. She also participates in music conferences
and symposiums throughout Canada and the U.S.
Ms. Goldsmith
received the Canada 125 Medal in 1992, and was inducted into the
B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2002. She was appointed a Member
of the Order of Canada in 2004.
