Nan merriman In Concert Here

Nearly ten years ago in Paris, Nan Merriman, captivating mezzo- soprano, promised the late Maxim Schapiro, founder of the Alaska Music Trail, that whenever she would find it possible to take a month out of her regular concert schedule, she would go to Alaska for him.
 Miss Merriman, a celebrated singer and serious musician, is now touring 16 Alaskan cities, and will appear in concert at the Ko- diak high school auditorium at 8:15 Monday night. This will be the last program offering of the current Alaska Music Trail series.
 This long awaited fulfillment is understandable as Nan Merriman is one of the worlds busiest con- cert artists. Recital dates, orches- tra appearances and operas have kept herbusy with commitments.
 Following her Alaska tour, she will go to Europe for the Festival season, starting at Bergen, Norway and gradually working her way to Monte Carlo, finally coming home in the fall to spend September at her home in California.
 In addition to her vocal attain ments, Miss Merriman's sound musicianship has endeared her to conductors, for there is scarcely a prominent one here or in Europe with whom she has not sung, us. ually not once but many time.
 Ralph Linsley will be her piano accompaniest, and among her of feringS will be an excerpt from Carmen" plus varied works ot such composers as Scarlotti, Cac- cini, Mozart and DebuSsy.
