Gra mm-Schapiro
Concert Promises
Musical Treat
Artists Have Had Series
ot Triumphs Through
Alaska Towns
Five concerts and five triumphs
is the record established by Donald
Gramm ipicture above), bass bari
tone. and Maxim Schapiro, pianist,
on the first half of their Alaska
Music Trail concert tour.
Tonight at 8 o'clock at the Twen
tieth Century Theatre, they will
present their Juneau concert, first
of t he 1951-52 season of the Juneau
Douglas Concert Association.
Kodiak, where the visiting artists
gave this year their first Alaska
Music Trail concert last week, was
a "sell-out” and other concerts at
Cordova, Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks, where the Music Trail is
in its second year, were presented
to full houses.
Because they are bringing music
to Alaska that Alaska would not
have except for their concert circuit,
the Alaska Music Trail is accom
plishing a special cultural purpose
in the territory, Mrs. John Mc
Cormick, president of the Juneau
Douglas Concert Association told
guests at dinner on the Baranof
Terrace last night.
The dinner, which honored
Gramm and Mr. and Mrs. Schapiro,
gave members of the concert asso
ciation membership committee and
others who attended an opportunity
to meet the visitors and to hear
brief speeches by Mayor Waino
Hendrickson, the Schapiros and Mr.
Gramm.
Mr. Schapiro said that Prince
Rupert has now joined the group
of concert cities. "And when I sug
fSited that Prince Rupert call their
concert series by another name than
Alaska Music Trail, the town re
plied in the negative. ‘We want to
be a part of the Alaska circuit,’ they
said.” and Schapiro was proud of
the story as he told it.
Both Mrs. Schapiro, who is here
on her first trip to Alaska, and
Gramm, the young baritone who is
said to have one of the finest voices
on the concert stage, are thrilled
with the north. “I had to see
Alaska. My husband claims it as
his second home and is proud that
you have made him an honorary
citizen of Juneau," Mrs. Schapiro
told the concert association mem
ber; at the dinner last night.
The informal dinner party was
presided over by Mrs. McCormick.
Clever decorations denoting the
Alaska Music Trail were planned
YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
When any member of the
family dies, r,o one likes to
think of expense. But the costs
of medical care and final ex
penses may amount to $1,000
or more. These costs may cut
deeply into savings and un
balance the family’s budget for
a long time.
It is far wiser to set aside a
small amount each year for the
premiums for life insurance
policies on every insurable
member of the family, and thus
be prepared financially against
death. In addition, life insur
ance is one of the easiest ways
for the family to accumulate
money regularly over a period
of years.

Donald Gramm, to be heard here
tonight, is noted for his decided
inclination to sing songs in English.
He says, “I have always felt a great
! need for opera to be sung in the
i language of the listening public.
More and more as I sing I feel
| that the public has a right to know
i what is going on, not just in a
general way, but to know each and
every word.”
This season Donald Gramm fea
tures six songs from the famous
Schubert cycle, "Die Schoene Meul
lerin” ft-he beautiful maid of the
| mill) which tell a story of young
j love and its tragic ending. These
will be sung here in English pro
i grammed for the first time by any
j major recitalist translated from the
i German.
