about

at the piano is a shopping cart full of Roger’s meditations on and constructions around the piano composed from 1982 to 2014. Each was composed for/dedicated to a friend and is performed here by the composer’s most knowledgeable and intimate friend, Rob Frankenberry.

Rob Frankenberry enjoys a multi-faceted relationship with music as a singer, pianist, conductor, orchestrator, producer, director, and composer. He has conducted operas in a Hookah lounge (Carmen, reconfigured for ensemble cast and using his own folk-ensemble orchestration), on and around a cemetery lake (Ricky Ian Gordon’s Orpheus and Euridice), and on and in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater (Daron Hagen’s Shining Brow). In 2019, he was granted the honor of adapting, arranging, and orchestrating two of Mr. Rogers’ one-act operas for live performance, leading the premiere performances from the keyboard. On stage, he has performed a wide range of roles including Mozart (Amadeus), John Adams (1776), Bacchus (Ariadne auf Naxos), and the tile roles in Don Carlo, The Tales of Hoffmann, Faust, and Willy Wonka. At the piano, he has premiered many solo and chamber works by living composers, including Eric Moe, Gilda Lyons, Roger Zahab, David Del Tredici, Daron Hagen, Alberto Demestres, David Stock, Barbara White, Juhi Bansal, and himself. He currently performs as a member of entelechron with cellist David Russell and violinist Roger Zahab and Chrysalis Duo with flutist Lindsay Goodman. Rob can be heard singing and playing on the Naxos, Albany, New World Records, Roven Records, New Dynamic Records, and Innova labels, as well as various streaming platforms. He is currently Associate Producer for Resonance Works and Residency Faculty of the MFA in Music Composition program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
