Frank Glazer has had a long and distinguished career as a soloist, recording artist, chamber musician and teacher. Critics from all over the world have called him "a master musician as well as a virtuoso" and have praised his performances as "formidable", "extraordinary", and "phenomenal".
Mr. Glazer studied with the great pianist and Beethoven interpreter Artur Schnabel in Berlin where he met the composer Arnold Schoenberg with whom he also studied. His New York debut when he was 21 was a notable success, as was his first appearance three years later with a major symphony orchestra, the Boston Symphony led by Serge Koussevitsky. Since then he has played in 24 countries with the world's finest orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony, and many of the finest ensembles abroad.
Mr. Glazer was a founding member of the Eastman Quartet and, as a chamber musician, has performed with the Fine Arts Quartet, the Cleveland Quartet, and the New York Woodwind Quintet, among others.
He was on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music for 15 years before coming to Maine. He is Artist-in-Residence at Bates College, and continues to perform, conduct master classes and lecture frequently in Maine, throughout the United States and abroad.
