Paul Frucht and David Amado Lunch and Learn Program
COMPOSER PAUL FRUCHT VISITS THE TREASURE COAST WITH THE ATLANTIC CLASSICAL ORCHESTRA
ACO and Martin Arts team up to host a lunch and learn event featuring award-winning Composer Paul Frucht and Music Director David Amado on Friday, March 13, at the Chef’s Table, beginning at 12:00 pm.
The Atlantic Classical Orchestra will be performing composer Paul Frucht’s double concerto, Finding Religion, on its Masterworks III program, March 12 & 13 in Vero Beach and Stuart. This piece was written for guest cellist Julian Schwarz, who will perform with Leonid Sigal, ACO
Concertmaster, on violin, and the ACO.
“Finding Religion is inspired by an art song composed by Charles Ives called Religion and by my own life-long journey to make sense of religion as a concept”, stated Paul Frucht. “Both Ives and I are from Danbury, CT and I often look toward his approach for inspiration despite writing a very different style of music. When Julian invited me to write this double concerto for him at the Eastern Music Festival, this felt like the perfect concept as our close friendship has been defined and deepened not only by our thoughtful conversation, love of music, and Mets fandom, but most critically, our shared Judaism. I could not be more grateful for his remarkable friendship, his confidence in me as a composer, and his lending of his incredible musicianship time and again to my music, most notably this double concerto.”
