Handsome Mississippi Baritone To
Appear On Two Festival Programs,Winner Of Many Prizes For Talent
•Patrick Haa Had Varied Ca-
reerj Began By Study
Of Medicine
By STAFF WRITER
Few 23-year-old baritones in thecountry have won as many pri:resand competitions for his singing asJulian Patrick, native of Meridian,Miss. This handsome and talented
young man will be soloist here in
the Brevard Music festival on Au-gust 12th, and will appear againin Verdi's "Requiem" on Sunday,August 20th.
In June last year Mr. Patrick,
whose education was interruptedby the war, completed his require-
ments {or a bachelor of music degree at the Cincinnati Conserva
tory of Music. However, he wasin such demand as a soloist that hehlod a difficult time keeping upwith his scbool work.
Julian Patrick began his singingcareer, like so many other famous
singers have, as a boy soprano atthe age of ten.
While attending the publicschools of Meridian, he was award·
ed a one year scholarship with the L . , , , - - - -Apollo Boys choir, then of Birm· While stationed with the Navyingham, Ala. He also studied pi· OD the West Coast, Patrick appearano throughout his schooling in cd in USO shows and other enter-

sylvania college, Lexington, Ky.,to begin his long training career
for a ocetor.But after only one year of pre·
medical school, Uncle Sam beckoned the young singer, who had already made a name for himself in
the a capella choir. In fact, Patrick says that it was his director at
Transylvania college, Gwynn S. Me.\Peek, who influenced him to make
singing his career.
