A Father’s Day Celebration
The Brockport Symphony Orchestra will celebrate Father’s Day with a Summer Pops Concert on Sunday, June 21, at 4 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family concert will feature vocal artist Michael DeLuca and violin soloist Eloise Fadial.
DeLuca studied vocal performance with Heinz Rehfuss at the University at Buffalo and has performed on stage throughout Western New York. He enjoys focusing on the rich history of the American songbook by developing and recording studio albums that have garnered over 3 million streams worldwide. His latest project, AMERICA: 250 Years Young, is a vibrant collection of patriotic classics and favorites reimagined for the nation’s semiquincentennial.
Fadial, the orchestra’s concertmaster, studied with Grammy-nominated violinist Dr. John Fadial and the distinguished Dr. Beth Vanderborgh at the University of Wyoming. She performed with the University of Wyoming Symphony and Chamber Orchestras and was the recipient of the prestigious McElhone Scholarship. Currently completing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester, she performs as concertmaster and violin soloist with the Eastman Summer Studio Orchestra and the Rochester Medical Orchestra and appears as a violinist and violist on the University of Rochester Chamber Music Series.
Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted. This project is made possible with support from the Village of Brockport and the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts. For additional information, visit BrockportSymphony.org.
