Biografia
Born in 1944, he grew up in Eugene, Oregon, playing the violino from an early age. He studied matematica at the Università di Chicago, and was primo violino of the University of Chicago Symphony while he was there.
Fulton performed professionally with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra as a violinist. In 1970 he founded the Department of Informatica at Bowling Green State University serving as Professor and Chairman for 10 years. While still at Bowling Green, he co-founded Fox Software, which ultimately gained international recognition for its database management application, FoxPro. Following the sale of Fox Software to Microsoft in 1992, Dr. Fulton served as Microsoft’s Vice President for Database Products until his retirement in 1994.
Fulton has produced several documentary films about violins and music. The first was Homage (2008), which won the 2009 Juno award as "Classical Album of the Year: Solo or Chamber Ensemble".[2] The film features violinist James Ehnes performing on fourteen instruments from Fulton's collection.[3]
The second, Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona, (2010), narrated by Alfred Molina and featuring renowned violinists James Ehnes, Joshua Bell, Midori, Itzhak Perlman among others, examines the history and modern use of Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesù violins.[4] Violin Masters won a 2012 Emmy in the "Documentary - Historical" category.
The most recent film, Transcendence: A Meeting of Greats, (2014), documents the sessions at which the Miró Quartet recorded Schubert's great Quartetto per archi n. 15, in sol Maggiore, D. 887. This film was nominated for two 2014 Emmy awards in the Special Event Coverage category, winning Best Director in that category.
