Remembering Grace Lieberman
By Chris Murphy
Grace Lieberman was a cultural sparkplug. She championed all of the arts and her talent and drive got people to get together and create amazing works. From opera and musicals to stage concert performances, Grace was Modesto’s Sweetheart. Her opera performances with Buck Townshend and with Paul Tischer were legendary and her contributions to keeping the arts alive were larger than life and she gave so much back to the arts community. She was celebrated at the 2004 Modesto Area Music Awards with a lifetime award that was presented by her friend Marie Gallo. Her spirit in the arts community will live on.
