"Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens." - Maria von Trapp

Composer Frank Horvat gives his audience the time and space to reflect in our fast-paced world. His compositions tell deeply personal stories while permitting audiences to ponder their own. Whether he writes for his band, the concert stage or film/TV, his music is both aggressive and introspective. It digs into listener’s hearts with a driving minimalism and a haunting reflection. Frank’s compositions are based on social injustices as well as the wondrousness of life, love and longing.
Born in Ottawa, Frank Horvat now lives by the lake in Toronto with Lisa Horvat, his wife/manager. Frank is an Associate Composer at the Canadian Music Centre and a member of the Canadian League of Composers. He is passionate about social issues related to human rights and the environment.
