She made her first public appearance at the age of six in Philadelphia's Union Bap¬ tist Church and at eight she earned her first public fee singing one song at an in¬ formal concert. From that time on her singing was rec¬ ognized. By the time she fin¬ ished her high school course, a fund for "Marian Ander¬ son's Future" had been collected by the Philadelphia Choral Society and eventually she started a long course of study with the late Giuseppe Boghetti. It wasn't until she had returned from study in Europe, however, that Miss Anderson was recognized as an international figure. Today Marian Anderson is truly a great artist. Tall and stately in figure, she presents herself as a person who loves singing and regards it as a sacred privilege. The language of Bach, Schubert and Brahms is spoken most eloquently through her inspired interpretations. Ever interested in the development of other gifted singers, Marian Ander¬ son has established the "Marian Anderson Annual Award" of $1,000 to foster the careers of young aspirants.
