George Maran

Maran attended Harvard University where he and his voice came to the attention of people such as Leonard Bernstein and Paul Hindemith.

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.

[5] On September 15, 1950, Maran married Edit Engel, a Jewish refugee who studying medicine at Tufts College.

Maran Studied church music under Domkapellmeister [de] Joseph Messner; Mozart operas under Professor Dr. B. Paumgartner, and sang in the Salzburg Cathedral as solo Tenor for 5 years.

[8] Marans artistic collaboration with Harro Dicks was the driving force for the Monteverdi revival which had its beginning in Darmstadt.

His creative work with Hans Drewanz was fruitful and rich, culminating in Britten's Death in Venice, produced in 1980 by Kurt Horres.

Guest appearances in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Zurich, Amsterdam, at New York City Opera (Belmonte opposite Phyllis Curtin, 1958) and Fests, such as the Netherlands, Strasbourg, Schwetzingen, Kranichstein, etc.
