George Maran
George Alfred Maran (July 25, 1926 – Nov 26, 2011〔(From: Darmstädter Charakter-Tenor George Maran ist tot, Der sympathische Botschafter der Kunst war fast 40 Jahre im Darmstädter Ensemble, echo-online.de )〕) was an American opera, oratorio, and concert tenor. Born near Boston, Massachusetts. Maran attended Harvard University where he and his voice came to the attention of people such as Leonard Bernstein and Paul Hindemith. He first drew international attention when he won the “Mozart-Medaille”(Mozart Medal) from the Mozarteum International Foundation in Salzburg in 1956 on Mozart’s 200th birthday. The same year, and the next forty years thereafter, he was a soloist at the Opera in Darmstadt, Germany. Even so, he continued singing all over Europe and the United States, the world premiere of A Midsummer Night's Dream (opera) with Benjamin Britten conducting as a prime example. He has sung many wide-ranging and varied genres as soloist in opera, operetta, oratorio, and on the concert stage.
==Early life==
Maran was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts, the younger of 2 children. His father: Jacob C. Maran
(1899) born Agop Marangossian (clerk/jeweler) (naturalized 1923) was an Armenian from Smyrna (now Turkey) who spoke 7 languages fluently, “I don’t know much about him, said Maran, he left when I was 7”. His mother: born Persis M. Weeman (c. 1903),〔(From: Ancestry.com )〕 gave piano and voice lessons. His great-grandfather, Orin Weeman (c. 1844),〔Orin Weeman was born in Maine and established his violin making business in 1872 in Boston (Washington Street). For a short description of his business see ''Boston: its commerce, finance and literature,'' New York 1892, p. 245 and C. M. Ayars, ''Contributions to the art of music in America by the music industries of Boston, 1640 to 1936,'' New York 1937, p. 202-03.〕 and grandfather: Walter O. Weeman (c. 1863) were well-known violin makers from ”America’s oldest violin making family” at the time.
It was the musical influence of his grandfather Weeman and his Mother that started him on his path.
