Jiří Tancibudek AM (1921-2004)
Tancibudek joined the University of Adelaide in 1964, teaching oboe at the Elder Conservatorium. One of the world's most acclaimed oboists, Tancibudek had works written for him by many composers including Martinů, Feld, and Australian composers Margaret Sutherland and Miriam Hyde.
His archive and papers are held in the Barr Smith Library.
The Barr Smith Library Ninety years of memories 1932 - 2022
The University of Adelaide Library originated in the Mitchell Building in the 1890's. In 1899, the University Council decided to name the library after one of its greatest benefactors, Robert Barr Smith. In honour of his father, Tom Elder Barr Smith financed the construction of a separate building to house the library, and the new Barr Smith Library was officially opened 90 years ago, in 1932.
