FEATURED ARTISTS

BUDDY BRAY

Buddy Bray is co-author of the Cliburn in the Classroom programs and has been hosting the presentations in schools for over 17 years, and he says it is the most enjoyable work he does.

When he is not in the schools talking about music, Buddy serves as artistic director of the Cliburn at the Modern series and is the principal keyboardist for the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. He also hosts the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s pre-concert discussion series, where he does much the same thing as in the schools—he tries to make his audience comfortable with the music they will hear, and he does it with a spirit of discovery and fun.

Buddy comes from a family of teachers, and he is glad to be carrying on the family tradition.

IVAN PETRUZZIELLO

Italian clarinetist Ivan Petruzziello currently serves as assistant principal clarinetist of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and principal clarinetist of the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra. He has performed with orchestras and chamber ensembles around the world, including in Italy, Austria, Panama, Cuba, Colombia, and the United States; given masterclasses in Europe, South America, and the United States; and previously served on the faculty of several music schools in Latin America.

Ivan earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Italy, holds an artist diploma from TCU, and is a Yamaha Performing Artist. He lives in Fort Worth with his wife, cellist Laura Ospina, and their children Tomas and Olivia.
