Nagoya Marimbas by Steve Reich
Solo Marimba

For over 20 years, I have thought of performing Nagoya Marimbas as a marimba solo. Steve Reich said of the piece, "The piece is also considerably more difficult to play than my earlier ones and requires two virtuosic performers." The solo has changed so much over the years. Hopefully, I'll see more people trying Nagoya as a marimba solo in the future.

Paul’s successful career as a performer, composer, and teacher has deep roots in both the concert and marching percussion community. Since 2003, he has performed in the groundbreaking duo, Lawler + Fadoul with flutist Zara Lawler. Hailed as “a great treat” (Classical WETA, Washington DC), the duo blends classical virtuosity with lively commentary and theatrical flair. In 2013, Lawler + Fadoul released its debut album, Prelude Cocktail, which the music blog, I Care If You Listen called “collaborative artistry at its finest.” Since forming, Lawler + Fadoul have performed together in many of North America’s most prestigious concert series and venues, including the Kennedy Center, Strathmore, Trinity Wall Street, the Edmonton Recital Society, and McMaster University’s Celebrity Concert Series.

Paul is also a founding member and principal composer/arranger of Dark by Five, the ensemble-in-residence at Canada’s Gros Morne Summer Music Festival in Newfoundland and Labrador. The ensemble expands the boundaries of musical presentation by weaving classical, contemporary, and popular music with theater, poetry, visual art and visual media working with renowned artists such as the celebrated Canadian poet, Don McKay and guitarist Duane Andrews.
Paul Fadoul, percussionist, is a Vic Firth, Pearl Drums, Adams Percussion and Evans Drumheads artist.
