This concert was televised on PBS and recorded on the Yamaha record label. Paul was accepted at the age of fifteen to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philiadelphia where he was fortunate to study under Pulitzer-prize winning composer Ned Rorem, pianist Dr. Vladimir Sokoloff, and members of the Guaneri String Quartet. Paul finished his musical education at the Paris Conservatoire and at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
