About the Author:
<strong>Frank Daykin</strong> is a pianist, musicologist, writer, and teacher. Decades of experience in vocal accompanying, with a specialty in French art song, have included the master classes of such legendary figures as Gérard Souzay, Elly Ameling, Pierre Bernac, and Thomas Grubb, to name only a few, and teaching the “Singer and Accompanist” class in the Juilliard Evening Division. Daykin’s bi-weekly blog, containing mini-essays on music and arts topics, “Before and After Silence,” has become an internet destination. He is also sought after as a programme note writer for classical labels Connoisseur Society, Albany, Quattro Corde, and various chamber music and symphony organisations. His lecture/demonstrations on subjects are far-ranging as Schoenberg, Schubert, Ravel, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Elgar, Messiaen, and Schumann are the most popular events at the Chamber Music Conference/Composers’ Forum of the East, of which he is a faculty member. Daykin’s two volumes of poetry “Islands” and “Words Without Songs” were published by Silver Hill Press.
