A short-tenured but highly influential director of the Edinburgh International Festival has died. John Drummond, who ran the legendary fest from 1979 to 1983, was credited with turning “what had been a rather formal presentation of classical music into a kaleidoscopic celebration of many arts. [He] diversified the festival’s programs to include an assortment of ethnic musicians, dance performances, book fairs, art exhibits, a film festival and what he called ‘street happenings.'”
