In a fast-paced world, his music offers a sanctuary, inviting audiences to pause, reflect, and find solace. Each note reveals deeply personal stories while leaving room for listeners to ponder their own.Frank’s music is featured on over twenty albums, showcasing his versatility and producing expertise across labels such as ATMA Classique, Azul Music, Centrediscs, Leaf Music, and Navona Records. His compositions have premiered on concert stages spanning five continents, resonating through theater, film, and the airwaves. From BBC Radio 3 to Bravo, CBC, CBS, Discovery, HBO, NBC, Netflix, and Vice, his music has woven its way into the fabric of our cultural consciousness. Gramophone, The Strad, BBC Music Magazine, and the Toronto Star have acclaimed his work, recognizing the profound impact of his artistry.
