BIO

English cellist Frankie Carr was born into a family of string players. At the age of 16, Frankie finally accepted the fact that he would never be a rock star or a Premier League football player, and joined the Yehudi Menuhin School of Music. Since then, Frankie has performed at festivals across Europe and North America, including Kneisel Hall, Music from Angel Fire, Four Seasons Chamber Music, Loon Lake Live, Stichting Kamermusiek Amsterdam, YPF Amsterdam, The Menuhin Festival Gstaad, and Greenwood.

Frankie's principal teachers have been Colin Carr, Melissa Phelps, Thomas Carroll, Darrett Adkins, Carter Brey, and Peter Wiley, but he has also worked with Johannes Goritsky, Joel Krosnick and members of the Chiara, Emerson, and Juilliard string quartets. Frankie is a recent graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. He teaches cello privately in Philadelphia and NYC; in his free time he enjoys long walks and looking at birds.
