Karl Pasch purchased the music store that his father established in Anchorage, Alaska, with the goal of continuing the tradition of providing music products for his community while also following his own path as a musician and composer. Karl got the music bug back before he can remember. He grew up around music and the store,so it seemed natural for him to take up the trumpet. After college, Karl returned to Anchorage where he pursued his interest in composing and performance, leading to a long association with the local symphony. When his father, Kurt, was nearing retirement, Karl made arrangements to purchase the company, a fact for which his father was always very proud.
