English cellist Frankie Carr was born into a family of string players. At age 16, he accepted that he would never be a rock star or Premier League soccer player and enrolled in the Yehudi Menuhin School. Since then, Frankie has performed at festivals across Europe and North America, including Kneisel Hall, Music from Angel Fire, Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival, Loon Lake Live Summer Concert Series, Stichting Kamermuziek Amsterdam, Young Pianist Foundation Amsterdam, and Menuhin Festival Gstaad.

Frankie’s principal teachers are Colin Carr, Melissa Phelps, Thomas Carroll, Darrett Adkins, Carter Brey, and Peter Wiley, and he has worked with Johannes Goritzki, Joel Krosnick, and members of the Chiara, Emerson, and Juilliard string quartets. He is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and received the Curtis Community Artist Fellowship. In his free time, he enjoys long walks and looking at birds. As part of his fellowship with Ensemble Connect, Frankie teaches at John Bowne High School in Queens.
