ADVANCE OF MUSICAL ART
Step by step, stone by stone Western Alaska, which
a short 20 years ago was purely Arcadian in its existence,
is building an edifice which shortly to be completed, will
contain every refining element of art and science.
And the material for this progress is as indigenous
to the soil of Alaska as are its towering mountains, its
goid-laden creeks and its superabundance of other good
things of life.
Seward ha* *ong been proud of its Seward Serena
des, a local group of young musicians who each week
bring us much happiness; Saturday night the famous
KFQD Serenades. Alaska's premier musical organiza
tion, fostered and developed by Art Herren, leader and
pianist, arrived from Anchorage making their initial ap
pearance.
The organization is one to be proud of not only
for the excellence of it? offerings of one of the greatest
contributions to society, but because it wears no foreign
brand, but is a part of us.
Seward took pleasure in extending a warm wel
come to Art Herren. Eddie Meier, Eugene Smith, Heeinie
and Walt Swanson, and shares that pride which accom
panied the KFQD Serenaders from Anchorage, and de
mands the privilege of asserting the city’s claims to pro
prietorship because it is all-Alaskan in its structure and
conception. . _
