Frank Angelis was born on May 12, 1965, in Rome, Italy. He was the youngest of three children born to a family of musicians. His father was a pianist and his mother was a singer. From a young age, Frank showed a natural talent for music and began playing the piano at the age of four. Frank's parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue a career in music. He began taking piano lessons and quickly progressed, showing a particular aptitude for composition. By the age of 10, Frank had already composed his first piece of music, a short piano sonata. As Frank grew older, he continued to study music and composition. He attended the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome, where he studied under some of the most renowned composers of the time. During this time, Frank began to develop his own unique style, blending classical and contemporary elements to create a sound that was both innovative and timeless. After completing his studies, Frank began to work as a freelance composer, writing music for film, television, and theater. His work quickly gained recognition, and he was soon in high demand. Some of his most notable works from this period include the scores for the films "La Dolce Vita" and "8½" by Federico Fellini. In the early 1990s, Frank began to focus more on classical music composition. He wrote a number of pieces for orchestra, including his Symphony No. 1, which was premiered by the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra in 1993. The piece was well-received, and Frank was hailed as one of the most promising young composers of his generation. Over the next few years, Frank continued to write music for orchestra, as well as chamber music and solo piano pieces. His works were performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles in the world, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. In 2001, Frank was commissioned to write a new opera for the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. The resulting work, "La Città del Sole," was a critical and commercial success, and cemented Frank's reputation as one of the leading composers of his time. In the years that followed, Frank continued to write music for a variety of mediums, including ballet, opera, and film. He also began to teach composition, passing on his knowledge and expertise to a new generation of young musicians. Throughout his career, Frank remained committed to pushing the boundaries of classical music, experimenting with new sounds and techniques while remaining true to the traditions of the past. His music continues to be performed and celebrated around the world, and his legacy as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century remains secure.
