Theatre Department to Present Faculty Recital

East Stroudsburg University’s Theatre Department will present a Faculty Recital featuring Eric Schultz, clarinet, on Friday, November 10 at 8 p.m. in the Cecilia S. Cohen Recital Hall of the university’s Fine & Performing Arts Center, Normal and Marguerite streets, East Stroudsburg.

The concert, which is open to the public at no cost, will feature Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622 and the Clarinet Concerto in F minor, Op. 73 by Carl Maria von Weber. Ruth Kochera, piano, will accompany Schultz for the recital.

Schultz, an adjunct faculty member in the theatre department, is currently in the final year of his doctoral studies at Stony Brook University, under the guidance of Alan Kay (Juilliard, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra).

Schultz spent this past summer in Salzburg, Austria, performing with the Mozarteum Summer Orchestra and working with Andreas Schablas of the Bavarian State Orchestra and Opera. An award-winning clarinetist, Schultz is a recipient of the prestigious Rislov Foundation career grant for excellence in classical music.

Schultz has studied multiple woodwinds and has extensive experience in teaching and performing in jazz, theater, and commercial settings. Most recently, he performed in the pit orchestra for the Broadway musical Nice Work If You Can Get It on its national tour.

Besides serving on the faculty at East Stroudsburg University, Schultz serves as a teacher for the Harmony Program through the City University of New York (CUNY). He has also served on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, and as a graduate teaching assistant during his doctoral studies at Stony Brook University.
