Gracing the stages of over thirty countries, cellist Frances Borowsky is quickly establishing 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. Recent performance highlights include a performance tour of Cuba, a performance of the Beethoven Triple Concerto with her siblings and the Gettysburg Chamber Orchestra, solo recitals in Rome, a recital in Paris with pianist Georges Beriachvili, a concert as soloist with the Young Symphony Orchestra of Poland, performing in the The Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music, and collaborations with faculty and students of the Alanus Hochschule for an interactive and interdisciplinary audiovisual performance at the senseLAB Symposium. Ms. Borowsky was the sole American participant in the 2014 Tchaikovsky Youth Orchestra Festival in Yekaterinburg, Russia, as well as in a project with Camerata Villa Musica at Schloss Engers in Germany. Cecylia Barczyk was her primary instructor from childhood through her studies at Towson University, where she graduated from at age eighteen. Ms. Borowsky continued her education under Amit Peled at the Peabody Institute of John Hopkins University (MM), and recently earned a second masters degree from the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany, where she studied with Alexander Hülshoff and Laurentiu Sbarcea. In addition to the above teachers, she has been mentored by prestigious cellists Janos Starker, Johannes Moser, and Michael Flaksman. She is currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Musical Arts program at the University of Maryland, and serves as graduate assistant to Dr. Eric Kutz. Most recently she accepted an appointment as faculty member of Lebanon Valley College.
