This latest emotionally fervent album, featuring some of Canada’s top chamber musicians, showcases the continued importance of art in our world. Art inspires and opens minds to new ideas. Frank Horvat has taken the art that inspires him and dovetailed it into music. Enchanted by Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, moved by political activist Vaclav Havel’s writings, and amused by director John Waters’ ‘hero’ Pecker, the music in this playlist-like album, of varied instrumentation, engages, stimulates, and entertains. “They’ve created works that have impacted me. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce others to these inspirations by dovetailing our art forms together,” – Frank Horvat. This album celebrates the work of two Canadian artists, who are masters in their respective fields – one, the best-selling author Suzanne Desrochers; the other, master printmaker Lorna Livey. Lorna’s Metamorphosis offers a fascinating insight into the life of an artist.

Produced by Frank Horvat Recorded at The Canterbury Music Company, Toronto, Canada ABOUT FRANK HORVAT: “An accomplished multi-genre composer and pianist who has made the tricky musical leap that allows him to pursue a niche of his own” (Edmonton Journal). With a manic drive to create, his discography is continuously growing and his compositions have been premiered on four continents. His works have been performed in a variety of venues and been featured in festivals, plays, film, television networks and radio stations internationally. His music is both aggressive and introspective. The consequence of being born in a world of Gershwin, Glass and Zappa, he’s influenced by the post-modern idea of eclecticism. His compositions have a driving minimalism and a haunting reflection and are most often based on social injustices or the wondrousness of life, love and longing. Frank presently resides in Toronto with his wife/manager, Lisa. Educated at The Royal Conservatory and the University of Toronto, he is an Associate Composer at the Canadian Music Centre and member of the Canadian League of Composers.
