Frank Lloyd was born in Cornwall,
UK. In 1975 he embarked on a course at the Royal Academy
of Music studying under Ifor James. Soon he was offered
the post of Principal Horn with the Royal Scottish
Orchestra. After that he returned to London and took up
a post with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, remaining
with them for three years.
By this time his career was taking a different direction
as his demand as a soloist and Chamber player increased.
Soon after leaving the RPO he joined the Philip Jones
Brass Ensemble, and the English Chamber Orchestra as
Principal Horn and the Nash Ensemble Chamber Group.
During this time he performed as soloist in Canada,
Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, Australia and the USA. He
has been featured on several occasions at the
International Horn Workshops in the USA, Japan and
Europe. He tours Europe extensively, giving master
classes, performing as a soloist, and as a member of
groups such as German Brass, Ensemble Musica Villa.
Frank was for several years professor of horn at both
the Guildhall and Trinity Schools of Music in London. In
1998 he was appointed to the position of Professor of
Horn at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany,
taking over from the previous professor, the renowned
Hermann Baumann on his retirement.
Lioyd has several solo recordings on disc, including
Strauss 1st, Mozart’s Horn Quintet with the Nash
Ensemble, together with other chamber works, and
Britten’s Serenade with the City of London Sinfonia.
Highly acclaimed is his recital album, with Roger
Vignoles. Frank Lloyd has recently been awarded a
Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Music in London
