ALO names artist-in-residence
The Austin Lyric Opera has named Vincent Frittelli, former concertmaster for the opera orchestra, as the artist-in-residence at the opera’s Armstrong Community Music School.
Frittelli was concertmaster for ALO from their first production of Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’ in 1987 to its 2007 production of Rossini’s ‘The Barber of Seville.’ He also was concertmaster for the Austin Symphony Orchestra for 25 years and recently retired from the University of Texas at Austin where he was associate professor of violin.
“We feel it’s a real feather in our cap to have such a talent associated with our school.” said ALO’s General Director Kevin Patterson.
Fritelli will maintain a studio at the Armstrong Community Music School and will be accepting violin students.
ALO’s first production of the season “La Boheme” opens Nov. 8 and runs through Nov. 13. See www.AustinLyricOpera.org for more information.
