With more than 100 public concerts each year, the organization covers all travel expenses of the young musicians who qualify. Ms Frankel is the winner of the prestigious William Schuman Prize for artistic excellence from the Juilliard School and will perform at recitals in the US, Russia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, and the Netherlands.  She will perform at the Small Hall of the Slovak Philharmonic in Bratislava on February 12, as part of the “New Masters on Tour” program: young musicians from around the world showcase their talents before foreign audiences and meet other musicians and music teachers.
