Frank's Individual Cello Lessons I was born in Prague into a family with a distinguished cultural background. I have been playing the cello since early childhood. Following my cello studies at the Prague Conservatoire, I completed my Master's degree at the Janacek Academy of Music (JAMU) in the Czech Republic. I furthered my cello skills at the Toho Gakuen Academy in Japan and later under the guidance of legendary cellist Prof. Anna Shuttleworth (a student of Pablo Casals) in the United Kingdom (Eton Cello Master Classes and the University of Leeds). I have won the 2nd prizes at the Anglo-Czech Competition in London, the International String Competition London, and the International String Competition Jihlava. I have been awarded many scholarships and fellowships, including the Czech Music Foundation, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Music Foundation OSA, Socrates-Erasmus, and the Gideon Klein Foundation. I chose to dedicate my life to the interpretation of cello compositions written by composers of the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, giving special consideration to compositions for solo cello. My favorites are cello suites by J. S. Bach, M. Reger, and B. Britten. I am particularly involved in researching, studying, and performing works by Czech, Jewish, and Terezin and contemporary composers, playing on a "George Kriwalski" cello made in 1904. As a soloist, I have performed at many festivals in Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and the United Kingdom. I have been teaching cello for many years. I have experience in teaching students at all levels, able to give master classes as well as support beginners. I am giving cello master classes in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and remotely online via Zoom/Skype. I am currently accepting new cello students. All ages and abilities are welcome!
