Talented Arthur Benavie Is Seeking
Career as Violinist or English Prof.

from Central High School in
1947, Arthur was in New York
where he took private lessons
from Louis Persinger, head of
the violin department of the
Juliard School of Music. He

also attended the New York

School of Social Research and
City College -of New York for
philosophy. a-n d humanities
classes and took several music
classes at the Juliard exten-
sion:

Arthur started playing the
violin when most youngsters are
interested in playing cowboys
and Indians. His father, Samuel
J. Benavie, one time band lead-
er at several Detroit theaters
and now head of the music de-
partment at the Jam Handy
Corporation, saw that the field
for musicians was narrowing

and tried to dissuade Arthur
from a musical career. But such
was the boy's enthusiasm for
the violin that Benavie resigned
himself to his son's ambitions.
Now, it would appear as if
the elder Benavie will be re-
warded -for • not pressing the
point too far. Arthur has be-
came a master violinist, of
whom his teacher, Mr. Persin-
ger says, "He's first rate concert
material, he can do anything."
Arthur began his concert ca-
reer at 16 when he performed
in the Yourig People's Series at
the Music Hall. He soloed with
the Detroit Symphony Orches-
tra under Valter Poole in Aug-
ust' of 1949, and made a repeat
performance this summer. His
first recital was in Pontiac, also
in 1949, and his major recital,
under the auspices of Irving
Teicher„ show promotor, was at
the Detroit Institute of Arts
earlier this year..

With this background, and
more, it seems virtually im-
possible for Arthur to miss on
the concert stage. But, as he
explains the situation with a
wry grin,---"With television ob-
viously here to stay, who's go-
int. to pass up Heifetz and
Elmann on the TV screen for
a look at Benavie at, the Mu-
sic Hall."
•

Asked whether he would like
to go to Israel to solo with the
Israel Philharmonic, he said,
"Who wouldn't?" While not a
Zionist, Arthur is • interested in
Israel and its progress, and ex-
pressed the hope that he would
travel there some day soon.
The name. Benavie is a He-
brew word which Arthur's father
adopted in honor of his father.
Benavie means "son of a pro-
phet," and the name was taken
after Arthur's grandfather fore-,
warned 'his family in 1916 to
leave Russia, telling them of
coming anti-semitism and gov-
ernment pogroms. He was • a
teacher and a scholar, respected
in the community for his wis-
dom. He died just last year in
Israel where he had made his
home since leaving Russia.

IN OUR CHAPEL we have a deep
appreciation of the religious signifi-
cance of our task that extends be-

that the lost farewell should be a
beautiful memorial, something to re-
member and something to heal at
feast part of the anguish of loss.
Please remember that every member
of our staff stands ready to aid —
however large or however small your
request may be.
