Gracing the stages of over thirty countries throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, in major venues such as the Kennedy Center, Kimmel Center, and Penderecki European Music Centre, cellist Frances Borowsky has established herself as one of the most sensitive artists of her generation. The German newspaper, Heidelberg Rhein-Neckar Zeitung praised her as “very courageous...marvelously colorful, and performing with deep expression and a compelling temperament.” A dedicated citizen of the world, Frances embeds her memories of Norwegian fjords, Venetian artists, Parisian chocolates, and friendly Belgian cows into the rich tapestry of her explosive interpretations. She has been featured as soloist with the Tianjin Symphony Orchestra, Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, Gettysburg Chamber Orchestra, Polish Youth Symphony, Alexandria Symphony Orchestra and the Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra. Together with her siblings, Frances performed her New York Debut at Carnegie Weill Hall at the age of twelve as a recipient of the Erick Friedman Prize for Outstanding Young Musicians. In December 2018, Frances performed together with her sister, Elizabeth, at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium as featured, invited soloists in a celebration of Antonin Dvorak. Frances’ major mentors have been Cecylia Barczyk, Amit Peled, and Eric Kutz. She received her Bachelor’s degree from Towson University at age 18, and holds masters degrees from both the Peabody Institute of John Hopkins University, and Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. Frances completed her doctoral studies at University of Maryland in 2019. She serves as Co-Executive Director of the Intermuse Music Institute and Festival in Maryland, teaches cello at Lebanon Valley College and Elizabethtown College, and works as cello-finder for Grace Albert Strings.
