Past Featured Artist Fr. Stan Fortuna
Fr. Stan Fortuna has been playing music since the 2nd grade when his
father gave him his first instrument for Christmas - a red electric guitar! His
love for music grew into early adulthood as he began the life long journey
of learning the art of improvising by practicing countless hours and playing
lots of sessions in the New York area. It was during that time that Fortuna
began hearing his true calling in life and was eventually ordained a Roman
Catholic priest. He is one of the eight original members of the Community
of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a community established in the
Archdiocese of New York under the jurisdiction of John Cardinal
O'Connor in 1987. Fr. Stan established Francesco Productions
(www.francescoproductions.com) in 1987, a non-profit company which
produces his music, teaching tapes and videos. He established the
non-profit recording company to assist the poor and to evangelize Christ's
Word through his music. From Contemporary Christian to Jazz, Folk,
Reggae and Rap, this incredible musician and composer has produced
music for the enjoyment of all ages and walks of life. He has released
numerous CD's of original music and standards, arranged in his very
special style. All proceeds from sales go to the Community's hands-on
work with the poor.
