It was a wonderful recital that impressed us both by the performer’s age and by the advanced literature he not only played, but played well. That concert led us to inviting Frank to play on our concert series at Farley’s House of Pianos. Frank played several times, all of which were well-received. We admired Frank in so many ways and particularly because he continued to inspire pianists of all ages with his performances right through age 99, his love for the instrument, its music and the effect it has on the human soul. We are better persons for having had the opportunity to get to know Frank.

We are both visual artists and musical concerts are rare and special events for us, economically. Frank Glazer’s concerts always stimulated our creative spirits and gave us courage. He is already deeply missed. The winter was way too long and dry without his presence.

But Frank was a dear and loyal friend and musical colleague and re-kindling our friendship and hearing his performances have been two of the great pleasures of recent years. Frank was one of the most gracious, refined, and interesting people I have known. He is much missed.
