At the age of four and a half David Fetherolf informed his parents he needed a 'cello in order to survive. They said, "no", but he persisted, and received a 'cello for his fifth birthday. From that time on, his focus in life has been music.Mr. Fetherolf is affiliated with the AMC, the Society of Composers, Inc., The National Association of Composers/USA (East Coast), Random Access Music and BMI. His works have been played in the United States, Central and South America, and Europe.
Several of his orchestral works are available on Vienna Modern Masters. A new recording of chamber music for strings is now available from Albany Records (TROY932).
