Bio: "A Prima Donna's Progress"
From online source:
"Sutherland was born on November 7, 1926, in Sydney, Australia, to William
and Muriel (Alston) Sutherland. Her father, a Scottish immigrant and
tailor, died of a heart attack on Sutherland's sixth birthday. Joan and her
elder
sister Barbara were raised by their mother, an amateur singer and music
teacher, and members of her family.
Early Musical Education
While attending St. Catherine's Girls' School in Waverly, Sutherland
received her first education in music, primarily piano, from her mother.
Muriel
Sutherland had been taught in the bel canto tradition which her daughter
would later help revive interest in."
