Hailed as “a fascinating array of wood, metal and fire,” (James Wegg Music Review) Lawler + Fadoul offer performances that are uniquely captivating, combining the almost primal appeal of percussion with the soaring sound of the flute and the sophistication and elegance of the best classical music. In addition to their deep roots in music (they are graduates of Juilliard and Yale Schools of Music), the duo has an extensive theater background, a love of performance and an ability to create an atmosphere that is lively, engaging and truly interactive. Lawler + Fadoul (Zara Lawler, flute and Paul J. Fadoul, marimba) have performed in many of the United States’ most prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Center, Strathmore, Trinity Wall Street, and Vermont’s Yellow Barn Music School, and made their Canadian debut at the Edmonton Recital Society. Avid promoters of new music, their Gronica Project is an ongoing program to increase the repertoire for t heir instrumentation both by commissioning new works from living composers and by creating their own arrangements of favorite works of the past. Their debut CD Prelude Cocktail was released in fall 2013, and is an intoxicating mix of world premiere recordings of commissioned works by American composers Katherine Hoover and Roshanne Etezady, as well as works by Bach, Gershwin, Debussy and others. Lawler + Fadoul are dedicated and creative educators, as well, and work as teaching artists for the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, DC and created Break it Down! for a week of Kinderkonzerts at the Kennedy Center in February 2013. All of their programs are offered with companion in-school shows that make music come alive for students in grades K-6. They have worked as a duo since 2003.
