David Katz in MUSE of FIRE

The Board of Directors of the Pierre Monteux School welcomes distinguished alum David Katz, who returns to the Forest Studio to perform his acclaimed one-man play about the school and the secrets of conducting...on the stage where the play was born.

"unique depth & humor, tremendous verve & palpable passion"
Chicago Sun Times

Acclaimed actor & conductor David Katz presents MUSE of FIRE, his heartbreaking, hilarious one-man play about studying with Charles Bruck, the Monteux School's terrifying maestro: a man who would stop at nothing...not laughter, not even death...to make you feel music's wonder.

Performed to cheers & standing ovations from Chicago to Halifax and Baltimore to Boston (and soon off-Broadway), no play so passionately conveys the power of great music to open hearts and touch the soul...and none makes it so entertaining.

"Completely unexpected. Extraordinary!" Imperial Theater, New Brunswick

"The audience was riveted, enraptured." Boothbay Harbor Opera House

MUSE of FIRE features beautifully recorded orchestral works by more than a dozen beloved composers exquisitely woven into the fabric of the story. It was the last play directed by Tony Award-winning actor and beloved Broadway director, Charles Nelson Reilly.
