Frank Lloyd (horn player)
- Frank Lloyd (horn player)
Frank Lloyd (1952 - ) is a virtuoso horn player and teacher, Professor of Horn at the Folkwang Academy in Essen and formerly professor of horn at both the Guldhall and Trinity in London.
Lloyd was born into a non-musical family in Cornwall. Aged 13 he took up the trombone and joined his school brass band; on leaving school aged fifteen he joined the Royal Marines Band Service where he changed to the French horn. In 1975 he left the services to study at the Royal Academy of Music as a pupil of Ifor James. Within three months, however, he was offered the position of Principal Horn with the Scottish National Orchestra, now the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
He played with RSNO for four and a half years before returning to London and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he played for three years, leaving to fulfill an ever-increasing demands for his services as soloist and in chamber-music, also joining the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, Nash Ensemble and the English Chamber Orchestra as Principal Horn.
For some years he served as Professor of Horn at both the Guildhall School of Music and Trinity School of Music in London, until in 1998 he was appointed Professor of Horn at the Folkwang Academy, succeeding Hermann Baumann.
Lloyd has performed as a soloist throughout Europe and the United States as well as Canada, Japan, Taiwan and Australia. He has featured on several occasions at the International Horn Workshops in the United States, Japan and Europe, and also tours Europe extensively giving master classes and performing both as soloist and with chamber groups.
His mastery of unusual playing techniques can be heard clearly in "Tico Tico" on the London Horn Sound CD.
He has been awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Music.
